"I have 3 baitcasters right now. A quantum, a shakespeare, and this one. It was not as expensive as the quantum but it is easily my favorite. It casts a good 20 ft. furthur and it reals in twice as smooth. I matched it up with a 7 foot bps xps bionic blade and it is one heck of a combo."

"I bought a Browning Midas baitcaster during spring 2009. It was my first baitcaster; I paired it with a 7' MH Midas rod. It took some time to get the hang of it, but after a week of throwing practice plugs in the backyard and picking out a few beginner's birdnests, I hit the lake and haven't looked back! This thing is smooth, casts a country mile with ease, has great drag, and the external adjustments make set up for different lures quick and easy. I fish a couple of hours 4 times a wkend and 2-3 evenings each week after work. I LOVE this reel!...so much so that I picked up another one ("caught" it on sale!), and I paired it with a St Croix Mojo rod. I highly recommend this reel! Now if I could just find a good bargain on a john boat and trailer! :)"

"This reel is not marketed as a salt water reel but that is what I use it for. I've been using it for specks , flounders , and redfish for a few months now . So far no corrosion.
The standards I use to judge a reel are the Shimano Citica and Garcia ABUs round bait casters. The Midas M120HA has the line capacity of a Garcia 5500/5600 round bait caster with the ergonomics and comfort of the low profile Shimano Citica. The Midas will outcast both the Citica and ABUs. The line capacity is a bonus. There is still enough line capacity left even after braking off on a few snags. You do not have to respool like you would with most low profile reels on the market. The drag is a Bull Red Fish beater. This reel is smooth. Do not know how well this reel will hold up in the long run but I am pleased so-far."

"I bought the midas baitcast reel along with a 7 foot medium heavy midas rod. The reel casts great and I would definately recommend this reel. I have been using the reel for several months and have not had any problems. I hardly ever backlash the reel, and love the midas rod i bought with the reel as well."
