Really like this reel for applications that require working the bait, because of it's compact size. It's my go to rip bait reel and I like it for light line applications as well. Casts light lures nicely too.

What can I say about this reel? It handles 1/8 jigs with ease and resists backlash as good as the Tatula SV. Try it out!

It's one of the best reels I've ever bought. It's fast, with a good brake record and I can do the casting very far

Is the brake dial always hard to turn or am I doing something wrong ?
1 Answer
There should be some resistance but shouldn't require force to turn the dial

Can you give me a few suggestions rod wise for inshore fishing with this reel
1 Answer
St. Croix, Shimano, and G-Loomis are some of the top rod manufacturers that we like to recommend. Some models we suggest looking into are the Teramar, the Green Water, or the mojo inshore. The newest model of the 13 Fishing Omen Green would also be a great fit.
