- Holds a lot of line
Cons
- Heavy

Great reel for speed jigging amber jack, tuna, king mackerel, etc... in the gulf
March 29, 2021
I love this reel and the fact that with the right line and rod you can tackle the big pelagic fish in the gulf. It is easy to use and the lever drag allows for more or less drag with a simple thumb adjustment. I have caught Amberjack, Shark, Tuna, King mackerel, barracuda, and many more on multiple trips to the gulf. I would suggest a strike drag scale to know where you want to be before you go out. Great reel for the money.
Pros
- Tough, durable, easy to use reel that can be paired with various type rods to suit your needs.
Cons
- I have no qualms with this reel after numerous trips in the ocean.

Excellent Reel. Very impressed
September 8, 2020
Purchased two as a trial run. My goal was an all-around reel that can handle anything from trolling for king mackerel to dropping live baits for small-medium grouper/snapper to jigging knife jigs for amberjack. After two trips I can say that these reels will do all of the above. They hold exactly 300yd of 80lb suffix performance braid- overkill and I’ll probably go with 65lb in the future but may stick with 80. Paired with a boat rod, one works great for light trolling. The drag is smooth, the gears seem powerful and solid. The other, paired with a heavy jigging rod easily handled 40-50lb amberjack and 20lb+ reef fish. I will be purchasing more and recommend that you give the 10cs a try. The larger models are also solid as I have used the 50 paired with a bent butt for trolling and very large AJ/grouper. Solid reel for a low price.
Pros
- Smooth drag
- Price
- Rate of retrieve
- Appearance
- Line capacity
Cons
- None yet

Pros
- Very comfortable design.
- Smooth operation.
- Handles abuse of bottom fishing well

Smooth and easy to handle, used for east and west coast bottom fishing. Lever drag is right on. Great ratio is perfect for bottom fishing. I have found no negatives for this reel.

Nice power for the size
July 4, 2017
I had intended to buy this for snapper and lighter fishing, which it handles with ease. The nice surprise was how easily it handled grouper. Nice size to fish all day and handles most fish of West Central Florida easily.
Pros
- Size, Power, Reliability

The reel seems to be very good quality for its price. It is a bit heavy though.
