Excellent reel. Smooth operation.
Right-Handed, but wanted to try LH since I spin and fly fish reeling left-handed.
Fast shipping. Thanks!!

Love this reel! Recently got one and use it for fishing in the northeast. Lots of power, strong steady
retrieve .. very, very smooth I wanted to lighten the load and this will be my all around go to reel for haddock,
Pollock, Red fish, Blues, Stripers, Sea Bass and Porgies. It has the power to be used on larger fish but it's so
light and comfortable to use .. very impressive for it's size. Love it!!

Paired this with a Shimano Type J and its phenomenal for vertical jigging / bottom fishing. Got a black fin tuna on it and numerous kings. Brought in a 12lb king with ease with this reel. Takes everything I throw at it. Type J is a must for this reel and jigging.
Pros
- 250 yards of line @ 40lb daiwa j braid
Cons
- none

Does this reel auto engage the free spool clutch when you turn the handle?
1 Answers
It does not. The reel must be manually re-engaged with the same switch that is used to put the reel into free spool.
