Marty544: This reel is awesome, the 1st time using it, I reeled in a nice size bass, I had no problem adjusting the drag & getting the big fish in the boat.

Amazon Customer: Purchased this for lure and lightweight fishing. Went on YouTube to see how to set it up but still couldn’t get it right for me. I have watched fishing websites and see these used a lot with no problem. At my age I think fussing about with this is not for me. The reel itself is very smart, lightweight and smooth to operate. I believe it is good value for the reel but using it will take more patience than I am prepared to offer it.

Phil: This bait caster was actually really nice. It’s my first one, so not sure how to rate it. Casts smooth and adjusts easily.

Billwpp: I have six of these reels, so I have tested them thru hours of bass fishing. I have fished many tournaments and have even won. These reels are smooth and do what they are supposed to do at an unreal price. Yeah, they are made in China just like almost every other reel. They work great, cast great and I have not had one fail yet. I also use Piscifun rods and they are great too. I had a guide insert fall off of one and three days later, after calling them, I had a new rod at my front door. I can’t say enough about these reels, I like the slow retrieve fro cranking and dragging a worm. I am not sponsored by Piscifun nor have I received any discount to provide this review.

UnknownCuberUnknownCuber: Wanting a first baitcaster, after fishing for the last 10 years with spinning reels only, and not having the funds for an $80+ reel, led me to budget options. After researching many different reels (Abu Garcia BlackMax, KastKing Royale Legend, etc), I decided to purchase this reel along with a Piscifun Torrent 6'6" MH rod. I ordered 10lb Sufix 832 braided line to spool on. I also ordered some PENN reel oil and grease. Upon receiving the rod, reel, PENN products, and line I immediately oiled and greased the reel. While this was a bit tricky (possibly due to it being my first time handling a baitcaster), I eased my way along and eventually was able to grease the main gear and carbon fiber drag washers, as well as oil the bearings and other moving parts. I utilized the mechanism diagram provided with the reel to ensure proper reassembly. The next day I was able to spool the reel with my braided line. After some trial and error I was able to tie an arbor knot to hold the line on the spool, along with some tape on the knot to ensure there isn't any slippage of the line. I then began spooling by holding the line approximately 8 inches away from, but straight in front of, the reel (the...
