RUNCL Svallet Baitcasting Reels: Premium Baitcaster Fishing Reels for the Serious Angler

thompson: I really like these baitcasters. They are reliable and easy to use. Quick adjustments to eliminate backlashes especially when you are on a rocking boat. They put a card in the box with a web address to activate a warranty but good luck having it take you to any warranty registration. Kinda weird, given they are great products but they seem afraid to stand behind them.

Joe K.: I'll start by saying that I got addicted to buying all these new Chinese-made baitcasters because I truly find them to be a better overall value than major name brands.

The Svallet is a great looking reel in gloss charcoal and anodized green. It functions fine with 1/4 oz or heavier lures on braided line.

If you're looking for a quality baitcaster for jigs, texas rigs, or frogs buy it. If BFS is your thing, look for a reel with lightweight shallow spool using around 50 yards of 6 - 15lb braid.

Jason JacksonJason Jackson: Absolutely love the reel, 2nd one I have purchased both exactly the same . I fish a lot more than a lot I have every possible rod and reel that money can buy.Lew’s, abu, shimano, u name it . Recently started fishing more than I have ever before I cannot say enough about the Runcl products .I have a spin cast reel that’s just flat awesome and now this it the 2nd bait cast reel it’s exactly the same as the 1st one. They are the very best reel I have ever purchased ….. let alone for the price they are good for anyone even if a person has never had luck with baitcasting reels. HANDS DOWN love it, can pitch without adjustments …. Put fluro 10lb line on both tighten the drag a little and let it fly. No back lashes at all I was shocked, honestly haven’t had a backlash on either of the 2 baitcasters. Will be going after more once Christmas shopping is finished for my family. AWESOME PRODUCT. I don’t write reviews very often if ever, the reason there is no line on the reel I’m about to try a new fluro out

TANIA SOUZA: Pros:
Cone shaped ceramic line guide - I believe this makes a noticeable difference in casting & retrieving.
Swing wing side cover - the cover stays with the reel which eliminates losing the cover and allows quick access to the spool. This feature is typically on much more expensive reels.
Magnetic brake system – nicely controls backlash during the cast. Adjusts with audible clicks. Combined with the spool tension know, allows easy adjustment to maximize very long casts.
Compact design - very comfortable feel. I typically fish over 8 hours a day and this reel feel comfortable at the beginning and end of the day.
Reel bag – the reel is packaged with a black reel bag; nice touch.

Cons (minor):
Spool tension knob - does not have audible clicks when adjusting.
Magnetic knob - the indicator arrow is black, so it is very difficult to see and determine what setting/force value you are on.
Retrieve handle knobs – the bearing covers are not threaded to screw onto the knobs. Instead, the covers are glued down. Thus, increasing the possibility of the covers inadvertently popping-off.

Conclusion:
This reel is my second purchase. I have taken...

nik Villanueva: Unboxing the caster I would say the company did a fair job. It came with warranty card and instructions. It's a budget friendly reel and I did not have high expectations. I have yet to fish with it but I did put it on a rod and spool it with braid. Overall it seems to cast fairly well. One thing that I did notice was the handle has some slop in it but not too bad. Again, it's a budget reel. I will see what I think after I fish with it.

Update: I was able to fish with the reel and I would say it performed as expected. Not bad for the price. We will see how it holds up after multiple uses. I would compare it to the AG Black max but maybe a bit smoother. Probably due to the extra bearings. As said, durability will be the deciding factor.
