Comments: I got this reel in the 5.4:1 gear ratio. I was instantly impressed with the ergonomics of this reel. I have used many reels and this is one of my favorites. I usually upgrade the stock bearings to orange seals from boca bearings, but this reel cast as far as my abu garcia gen3 stx with abec 7's. The brakes are easily adjusted. I set mine with two brakes engaged and cannot backlash this reel. When I cast into the wind I simply move up to 3. This is a great reel for $200 but you can find this reel on eBay for $130 all day long. Excellent value!

Comments: To Brian, all you had to do was tighten down the line return guide on the back side of it, it was probably just loose

Comments: I would like to see the 5:4:1 in lefty as well.

Comments: AMAZING REEL

From: Jeremy: On, Canada

Comments: Please make the 5:4:1 in lefty.

Comments: Follow up to my feedback: I mailed out the reel from MA to CA late on a Friday. The postoffice said they would receive it on the following Friday. The new replacement reel arrived the following Tuesday. I'm very pleased with TW for there attention to this and the speed they performed in returning me a new reel. I'll try to use the replacement soon to determine how well it performs and casts. I hope the new reel stands up better that the first one.

Comments: Reel work finel after 30 to 50 casts then the line return guide failed and began spooning on the right side of the reel. Spoke to TW rep and they said they would return the reel under warrenty. I guess I'll see how long it takes to get a new reel and how long it holds up.  Right now, I'm very disappointed.

Comments: This reel is extremely smooth, lightweight, and it casts extremely well (even with the 60lb braid I use). The brakes are extremely sensitive which is a good thing because you can really pinpoint where you want them. The grips are a different feel compared to some of the other baitcasters I own, but I really enjoy the light weight. Havent got to test the drag yet because with the braid I just tighten her up and muscle them in. This is my dedicated frog/flipping reel. Okuma has finally gotten one right! The Mail in rebate took some time, but I love the jersey they provided. Its very lightweight and breathable, but extremely comfy! Thanks Okuma!
