  • Nice but not incredibly durable
Color: Gunmetal Size: 5/6
I liked the reel. It looks great, and is very light. A few months after I purchased the reel, the handle broke off while in a double fly rod case. I don’t know what happened, and don’t want to rule out I was to rough traveling, but still was disappointed. I still use the reel since the rod I use it on won’t ever have a fish put on the reel. ... show more

  • Excellent Value with a powerful drag
Color: Black Size: 11/12
Targeting GT's and needed a large reel that could hold 300 yds of 80 lb. backing with a powerful drag. Did not want to spend a lot of money on a reel I may not use again, even though the outfitter recommended I purchase a best I could afford and not to skimp on the reel. My budget for the reel was $600.Rather than buying one mid to high level reel I took a chance and bought 2 of these Behemoth with backing and fly line. First off, this is a die-cast and not CNC so the weight and tolerances are not as tight. I will list the Pro's and Con's from a real-world use. The reel endured 6 days of fishing in extremely hot climate averaging 4-5 hours of constant use. Pros: Price (Very affordable) Capacity of backing, I was able to put 325 yds. of 80 lb. backing with 110’ GT line and 10’ of 110 lb. leader and still had room. Handle was nice and big with combination of rubber made it nice without slippage. Drag knob was big. Drag was powerful and it did the job. I had the drag cranked all the way down (supposed to be 30 lb.) as instructed by the guide and the GT was able to pull another 50 yards of backing with no issues so these are powerful fish. Cons: Weight, I have the 11-12 and it was heavy compare to the Nautilus and the Loops being used by others, but it also did not cost $700 +. Finish is adequate. The die-cast showed plenty of scrapes and scuffs after the first day The spool has some play (slight wobble) just enough to notice but did not affect the performance. Drag knob felt cheap and did wobble. When backing the drag, the knob does slip so you can actually back off on all the drag and the knob will still turn a few more times, when it supposed to stop. Also, setting the drag is not as smooth, the knob has some gritty feel to it. Spool removal knob in the front is plastic and when it’s cranked all the way down to secure the spool, it does not do an adequate job. This is the reason for the wobble. You can’t tighten it too much as the thread stops and made of plastic, I feel it may break. With that being said, the reel performed and was able to land several GT’s, YF Tuna and Groupers with no issues. For the money it did just as well as the high-end reels but will it last over time ……. No regrets and would buy the reels again. I would not have any issues paying more if they could upgrade the following on the 11-12 reels. Spool removal cap Smoothness of the drag knob Better coating on finish ... show more

  • Otherwise good product ruined by shipping
Color: Gunmetal Size: 7/8
The Behemoth isn’t a bad reel! Let’s get that out of the way first. I received the reel in terrible condition: the spool seems to rub terribly against the reel seat/cage. There’s a grinding/rubbing noise as it rotates. It’s clear that the flat “outside” of the spool is deformed, and you can even see it visually. I shouldn’t be surprised, as the package came to me pretty beat up: the box was nearly torn apart completely, barely being a box, but the Mylar bag it came in was fine. Despite this, it was functional enough so I decided to just go for it, as I wanted to be out on the water ASAP. I’ve spooled up the reel with 200 yards of backing, as well as some RIO Redfish line, and having taken it out a couple of times, I can safely say that the reel isn’t bad, functions as well as could be expected given how beat up it came to me. Slinging the line through my Larson Cobalt is good, and stripping out the line wasn’t too bad. Gritty feeling, but I suspect that’s the spool being so deformed. I managed to snag a puffer and a couple ladyfish doing some wade fishing, so I’m reasonably pleased so far! Doesn’t feel as good as the Hatch reel or my Larson Guru, but those aren’t rated for line as high as 5wt. The Redington Behemoth is definitely a decent low-cost entry reel for salt, and I’m glad I have one to mess around with before I get any further down the rabbit hole of saltwater gear! I just wish I wasn’t sent such a beat up, mispacked item. :( ... show more
