Review: Spinning reel - Nice spinning reel. Seems well built ( haven’t used it yet)
Review: ABSOLUTELY SUPERB VALUE MOR MONEY. EXCELLENT QUALITY - Absolutely superb. I fish and tournament cast with zziplex and century rods (and have cast 280yds+). Been fishing 50+ yrs. Bought one of these (50 size) for my 14 yr old for feathering mackeral on a 10ft salmon spinning rod, (didn't want to pay expensive just for that). I usually use an Abu baitcaster for my spinning... bought another one of these for light spinning/sea float fishing for myself 5 minutes after I opened the box. For the money - superb. Any bad reviews MUST be people manhandling them. Feel as strong and as smooth running as any fixed spool reel of this size I've ever used. Excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight small reel, works well
*by P***. on 15 September 2025*

This is a nice easy to use light reel. Not the best caster in the world but good enough for the price. Fairly resilient to the sea water if looked after. Has a light ratchet and the drag works well. I’ve caught many fish with this since owning it and not had any trouble landing them.
