Comments: I bought this to pair with my CL 703C Dobyns Colt. I've only had it for about two months and so far I'd give it a 4/5. It casts a long distance and has great build quality, but the drag isn't as smooth as other reels at the price point. I feel like I need to use this reel with heavier line than I would with a reel with smoother drag because the spool pulls at an inconsistent rate at higher drag settings. It also has plastic casing which doesn't look or feel great, but to be honest, the ease of use of this reel, the overall feel (how it feels in my hand), and the casting distance (that I honestly think is better than the Shimano SLX) makes this a 4/5 in my eyes.

Comments: My dad got this reel a few weeks ago and so far itâs performing nicely. We use it mostly for weighted and weightless worms. It's buttery smooth and would buy another. The rod is very nice too it's not to stiff but not to soft. From our experience it's very nice!
