"I bought a couple of these last summer during a fishing sale. They came as a combo with a 6'6" rod. They have been manhandled and still perform like new. Great, Great reels."

"It is comfortable to hold and lightweight. I use it for up to 10 hours at a time and I never get tired of holding it.
After about 10 trips or so the line guide will stop moving back and forth, causing the line to become unbalanced on the spool and only spool up on one side. It makes a clicking noise and refused to move.
I dont think I would purchase another but if you happen to get lucky and get a good one then its a great reel for the money.
You get what you pay for with this one. If you want something that lasts years be prepared to spend a little more cash."
