These are great reels. Use them in the surf all the time.

Seriously can't wait to get this thing out on the water. It feels great and it holds a lot more line than i have on other reels. Going deep sea fishing out of Ciscos in Ventura this week and then for some yellowtail and tuna over the summer out of H&M. Let's see how this holds up. Will update later

Update: just got off my 3/4 day trip. Getting used to a reel without a level wind is super quick and easy. I've never used a conventional reel for casting before and with only 2 brakes I only got a backlash once. By the end of the trip, I felt like a pro. I'm sure with more practice I can even take those breaks off and cast over mountains. I HIGHLY recommend this reel to the person that wants a great casting reel without the huge price tag. This reel is great at taking in line quickly. When I'm fishing down to 300 feet, the boat isn't waiting for me to get up anymore. Im waiting on them. Couldn't be happier with this reel!!!

Siempre Peen es calidad

this is a very smooth reel cast well and the liveliner was better then my shimano for 55 bucks

Really happy with the purchase. Top class.

The handle on the reel is not as shown in the photo. I am very disappointed with the product presentation.
