Comments: Used this reel for over 3 years. I don't know if I got a good one or what based off the other reviews but I love this reel. I have bought 2 more recently. They cast a mile, and are still as smooth as the first use. I have zero issues. I've used it on many different rods and line combos - jig, 3-5 in swimbait, punching, Texas rigs, tube etc. I clean and lube each winter. If something changes I'll update my review.

Comments: Terrible reel. Have seen more then one go down in first 6 months. Would highly recommend going with shimano slx or daiwa ct.

Comments: This is by far the worst reel I have ever bought for the price. There is so many options for less than this reel that are so much better like the shimano Slx or the pfuleger premier it feels like they spent 10 minutes designing it the star drag pokes the side of your fingers when your reeling unless you reel by barley holding the handle the brakes are basically non existent and the thumb bar is so uncomfortable after using it for the day my thumb hurts from rubbing on the side of the reel this is my 10th baitcaster and have not had one worse then this I would not recommend buying this reel

Comments: I had this reel for about 2 years and the drag broke maybe I just got unlucky but it was overall good reel.
