A steal! Super cute little reel.

I have been fly fishing for about 20 yrs. Not an expert but I've caught plenty of fish. I have cheap and expensive equipment. The 2 rods I use most are a $99 Cortland 6 wt and a $340 Sage 4 wt. I'm not super careful with my stuff, but don't abuse it either. I bought the 3/4 line weight reel off of the same seller on the big auction site for slightly less than here. Just as a test.. Would not break the bank if it was junk.. However, this turned out to be a great buy. Shipping from China was VERY fast, 7 days. The reel is very tight, no play, super smooth retrieval with 2 ball bearings, and the drag is very good, with a very smooth transition from low to high drag resistance.. The reel is definitely  the right size for 3/4 weight. Compares to my Teton Tioga 3/4 in size, except the arbor is bigger. And the color scheme is what caught my eye. I absolutely love it. We'll see how long the roller bearing holds up, I've never had a reel with one before. The spool is a bit tricky to get off, with some careful wiggling. It fits very tightly. At this time, I am a very happy camper and can't wait to try it out.
If the seller is reading this, you should adjust and improve your description. The information here does not do it justice.. Potential buyers need more information.

This is a great reel! Half the weight of a precision auto real and a third of the weight of an Electra mee! Half the weight of a precision auto reel and a third of the weight of an Electra-mate.  Are use this real for catching Vermillion snapper and triggerfish and the occasional grouper.  If you can pair it up with a tiger light jigging Rod or a pen rampage jigging Rod it makes an awesome combination. Super lightweight and very easy to use. Great entry level electric reel

Great reel for the price. I bought this as a spare. After taking this out and using it. I have now replaced my quantum with this one. It's a great little microlite reel.

Package arrived from US to Singapore safely! Reel is smooth AF and has loud drag but kind of small for a 4000 reel but overall no problems! Yet to test it though, will be back! See how long will this reel can last...

I have never had a nice reel, and boy is this one nice.  Very smooth action, comes with directions and replacement parts, left or right handed, multiple bearings, etc.  I use it for bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill (I have caught one perch on it).  I haven't had any trouble casting, reeling etc.  I loaded it with 8lb mono and seems to work fine.  I am not an avid fisherman, but figured if I am going to fish a couple times a year, I should atleast look the part.  This was a great price with good reviews as a starter real for someone who didn't want to spend BIG bucks to look the part.  Happy fishing.

This reel looks and feels like a reel that would cost four times as much. It is super smooth and quality built! Double Brake Fishing Reel I love this feature. This comes in handy when I am at the river fishing. I can have my heavy duty line for catfish, drum, etc. but when I decide I want to go to the bank and do some bass fishing or crappie I can just switch spools instead of having to carry another rod and reel. Trust me there is nothing worse than hooking a crappie who decides to tangle you up when you have a super strong braided line on. I would much rather be able to break it rather than having to cut the line.

Now onto some features of the reel. First off the drag setting, I got thereel and the drag goes up to 12 pounds, enough to pull anything I have ever been lucky enough to hook into. Second the bearings, they are Shielded Stainless Steel 17+1 BBs. Let me tell you, this reel is smooth. The feeding of the line is on par with reels that I have spent enough on to buy three or four of these. This is a feature that you generally only find on very high end (expensive) reels. If you haven't used them before, they are much more reliable and smooth compared to the others.

The reel is a bait runner, so you can flip the back drag for free spinning. I find this to be extremely useful when catfishing with live bait. It allows the bait to move freely like it would naturally instead of swimming around like a dog on a leash. Another feature that sets the reel apart from anything in the price range is the cast alloy drive gear. With cheaper reels the gears will often be plastic and break easy, the gears in this reel are a strong alloy and should give you years of trouble free fishing. The reel also easily switches from right to left handed to fit all anglers.

Really nice, I wanted a back up reel but I might just fish this one. It looks really well made. The orange color isn't really orange more pinkish orange but the quality for the money is amazing

I bought this reel for my wife who is just getting into fly fishing.  My first impression is that it looked pretty wide on her rod.  Almost too wide.  I quickly got used to how wide it looked and decided to let it's perfomance speak for it.  Turns out the wide design is a boon in disguise. It's not at all overly heavy as I've seen some people say.  It's well made, has clean lines, adds a nice balance, and looks pretty good on the rod.  More importantly, it performs REALLY well.  The drag is actually adjustable (unlike many reels in this price range), it strips evenly, and it remains consistant (so far).  Long story short, this is a lot of reel for this price range.  I'd highly reccomend it.

I purchased this reel with the intent of pairing it with a medium/fast rod for plastics and some lighter lures. My only other experience with a baitcaster was an entry level Lew's with magnetic brakes. I had no idea what I was doing with centrifugal brakes. So my first cast backlashed so bad I had to cut the line off my spool. Lesson learned. Once I figured out how to truly adjust the brakes for wind and lure weight, this reel can toss a Texas rigged worm with a 1/8 oz bullet weight about as far as my spinning reel.  Get into the 1/2 oz lipless crankbaits and this reel will cast notably farther than my spinning rig or entry level combo.  I now use this rod and reel for everything except jigs and swimbaits.  The reel itself is compact, fits in my hand very well during the retrieve, and is fairly light with a spool full of 8 lbs mono. I love the 7.2:1 ratio, as well.  The retrieve is very smooth. My only wish is that the side plate was attached like on the Curado I or K models. The Curado 70 is a fantastic reel for everything but big, heavy baits and has firmly planted me in the Shimano reel camp.

For under $30 a simple, but effective reel.  Nice easy action, smooth and the reel easily pops out with a small lever to enable easier line attachment.  All metal construction.

Reel looks great (especially when paired with my black & orange Berkley Lightning Rod).  I've been catching 2.5 lb Crappie, Yellow Perch, hard fighting Pickerel & several Largemouth Bass (3lbs or less) with 10lb test line.  I encountered some serious line twisting recently, BUT, it may have been from a few reasons other than the reel:  1.) an excess of line spooled 2.) the fact that I have been killing freshwater fish with a tight-wobbling bomber crankbait or 3.) the fact that I have been out on my boat at least 3-4 times a week making thousands of casts.

Overall, I am EXTREMELY happy with this reel & the fact that I opened an Amazon.com credit card & purcahsed the reel for only $20.72 ~ after all the promo cash given to me!  I recommend this reel to ANYONE who is a true freshwater angler!

Initial review- "It's so small!" I was initially disappointed. I thought I bought too small of a reel. Nope It took 10-20 yards of 50 lb sufix superior mono backing (Halfway to the first line indicator ring on the spool.) And then 300 yards of 50 lb Fins Extra Smooth braid. The reel itself is good looking and all the moving parts are crisp. The clicker is loud enough that even those guys who like to fight fish with the damn thing on will turn it off. I like that the star drag  and free spool tensioner also click when you turn them. Aesthetically speaking it's quite crisp and feels precise. (Oooh factor!) The free spool lever is also makes a nice solid "Click" when engaged. WIthout having actually hauled in a big ass fish yet the reel feels very well put together and ready for it. I have an 11ft  Penn Carnage 2 on the way that I will be pairing this with. I wanted to see how it casted and I tried to put it on an OLD 12 ft extra heavy Ugly Stick surf caster and the reel seat was too big. The little fathom looked silly on it! So I put it on a 8.5 ft G-loomis 2-4 oz lure rated rod and tossed a 3 oz lead out in the field. I have no complaints. The reel was easy to cast 30 ish yards without really laying into it, and will cast even farther with the right rod. If my old sloppy $60.00 Penn 309 lasted years of abuse, this thing should do be just fine.

I will update this review after this summer. Fl Keys bridge fishing and Germany Pike and Wels catfishing should put it through it's paces.

It is a grat reel, and I really love it, it is small, but it is very strong spinning reel.

Best spinning for the money. You really can't beat this deal for the price. The reel is well designed, well constructed and very stylish. it casts a mile and is very smooth. I purchased 2 of them. I would get a couple of them before the price goes up. I highly recommend this reel.
