Great Surf Reel
March 29, 2018
I used it on the Texas coast last weekend and it held up. I was surf fishing with a 9ft. Rod and using a 4oz. weight. I was impressed how smooth the retrieve was. It seems like it is going to last a long time. Seems tough and durable.
Pros
- The handle has a large knob.
- The retrieve is smooth.
- Was great for surf fishing.
Cons
- Bulky
