Ok, so I decided to buy a couple of these to try out. At 29.000, what do you really have to lose.
-Finish is gold anodized and looks pretty good
-Bait clicker is kinda of cheap, but again $29.00.
-Cast button is not very good and I can see this being a problem in the future.
-Casts and retrieves very smooth.
-Drag, when I actually catch a fish, I will let you know.
So far I will give it 3.5 stars and maybe more once I actually catch some fish with it.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Well, I used this real for 8 hrs on Saturday. Here are the positives and negatives
POSITIVES
- Under $30.00 and that is it!
NEGATIVES
- The old cliche you get what you pay for? Well, this could be the poster child for this reel.
-The drag is non existent, 2lb trout actually stripping line from the reel, with the drag tightened all the way!!
-Fishing line gets between the spool and reel frame
-Line release button locks up consistently
-Bait clicker is so weak, that any movement by the water sets it off, you can forget using this feature in anytype of current.
DONT BUY THIS REEL

Today I bought 4 rod/reel combos off a guy. They are all used, but have really nice baitcast reels. The rods are in great shape. Overall I'm pleased with what I got. I find it hard to walk into BPS (or anywhere for that matter) and pay $$$ for new stuff when you can find good used stuff if you look.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
