Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just recently purchased one of these reels to replace a 2 bearing Shakespeare Cirrus spinning combo.The reel itself is very light and has a very smooth balanced retrieve. I put it on a 6'6" Ugly Stick medium rod and so far it's a great combo.This combo can toss a 1/8oz lure into the next county and still have enough backbone to reel in large fish.I also filled the reel with 10lb Berkley Trilene XL Smooth casting line. Hopefully this setup will give me a few years of service.

Product Description:
Features graphite frame, sideplate, and rotor; and diecast aluminum spool. Dyna-Balance: similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve. Varispeed: by using an oval oscillation gear, we are able to provide a consistent spool speed for an even line lay which results in excellent castability and manageability. Quick Fire II is a one-stop ratchet system that automatically centers the trigger for easy, one-handed casting. Power Roller II is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.
