Previous Feedback  

Comments: Great reel. This reel was my first high quality baitcaster and it took everything I threw at it, or with it rather. I threw around larger swimbaits for a time before I knew any better and it held up perfectly fine. I've had mine for over 3 years and I clean it once a year and it still works perfectly fine.

From: Henri: Washington 11/20/21

Comments: excellent reel...for 100.00 an absolute steal...compact, light, good drag, smooth retrieve...seriously everything you could ask for...cool mat finish as well...could be the best 100.00 reel on the market

From: Bob: pennsylvania 3/12/18

Comments: Really smooth and cast a mile, good torque when cranking on fish as well. Im just getting into baitcasting reels and this reel was very easy to minimise backlashes. And a three year warranty! You cant beat that, thank you Ardent.

From: Charles: New Orleans LA 8/29/17

Comments: So far I have had good luck with one of the two I bought. less than a year on the reel and tin broke at the release lever. Hopefully they have a good warranty.

From: Erik - 7/16/17

Comments: I love this reel.  Casts a mile and very smooth.  I fish with these and the 13 fishing inception and for me this reel casts about 50% further than the inception.  I currently use this for my top water applications and also for my spinner baits.  I will be adding more!

From: Josh: Canyon Lake, CA 2/19/17

Comments: So I went out fishing for smaller bay bass & I have this paired up to a Medium Heavy G. Loomis. I was having fun catching them then I hooked something big. After a 15 minute battle I landed a 15lb Bat Ray. It may not seem like much but it was a great fight. I am amazed by the strength of this reel, how much line it holds & how smooth it is. After several bay trips & a year of freshwater fishing it is still super smooth. I am about to buy one of the magnums for my swim bait rod.

From: Brian: San Diego, CA 6/28/16

Comments: Best reel  I've ever used, and I've been fishing tourneys since 1988, I used to use another brand, until they got bought out and went down hill from there, since then I've been searching for a another brand, there was a few I liked OK, but when I tried the Ardent tourney reel the smoothness and long cast you make blew the rest away. I have now found the reel I will be using exclusively, I just purchased an Elite and will be replacing all my rods with Ardents, love them!

From: Ken: ME 6/7/16

Comments: Amazing reel for the money. I have used other reels in the same price range and the Ardent Apex Tournament beats them hands down. I've used it to pull 14"-19" SMB off of their beds and the drag was as smooth as butter. The brake is great, I've never had to turn it past 3/4 of the way up. Great reel for the money.

From: Pryce: Mercer, WI 7/6/15

Comments: For $100 this thing takes some absolute punishment and handles it with ease. I could easily put this on any rod in my arsenal & be completely satisfied. I mainly use it for crankin, spinnerbaits & slop rodding

From: Wes: Delta, CA 5/12/15

Comments: Best Reel ever designed for fishing shallow grassy lakes like Lake Okeechobee. These reels cast a mile and are under 6 oz..super light & what I like most about these reels is the THREE YEARS OF WARRANTY. ARDENT reels hold up & withstand the brutality & strength of Okeechobee bass they can withstand any fish anywhere else in this country. 

From: Bassin Bobby: Boca Raton, FL 4/22/15

Comments: I love my Ardent Apex Tournament casting reel. I feel these reels are worth twice as much as they charge! The Tournament casting reel has a fast retrieve so I use these for all my soft plastics and jigs. High quality, light, balanced & dependable. Using them makes me feel like they will last forever & the warranty they have means they stand behind them!
