Smooth and predictable, Jul 23, 2006

reviewer: Bill Dale from Fremont, CA

Yes, it's a bit heavier but that's what you get with quality alloy instead of plastic. Feature-packed, this reel is capable of handling a wide array of fish.

A well-connected reel for a great price. The weight is the only concern, if you would call it one.

A fantastic reel for a fantastic price, May 31, 2006

reviewer: David Athay from San Diego, CA. USA

I managed to pick one of these up on sale for $60 last year. The reel is rock solid and the spare spool that came with it is a metal spool not one of the cheapo plastic ones that I see typically packaged as a second spool.

It is a bit heavy but I attribute that to the all metal fabrication.

The one pick I have with the reel is that the crank itself is reasonably heafty. This can cause a problem if you leave the crank sticking straight out when you cast. The momentum from your cast can cause the crank to rotate and the bail to snap shut. The result is your rig flying out to sea without any line attached to it... >:(

I use mine for surf fishing in So. Cal and it has been perfect so far with about 18 months of fishing under it's belt.
