Cheap as dirt, but does the job
Style: Alpha50b
I think these reels are a great deal. I first purchased a couple as rod/reel combos at Walmart at the beach....I wanted something cheap for surf fishing on vacation and this fit the bill. Came with a heavy 9' rod and worked to catch fish. I figured I'd get a week or two of use out of it before they locked up, but I wound up using the reels for over 5 years before one gave up and the other for probably 3 or 4 additional years before the handle broke off from salt corrosion. The way I use reels at the beach that is saying alot. I always wash things off after use, but I don't hesitate to submerge a reel in salt water...things get knocked over in the sand etc and for such a cheap reel to stand up to the equivalent of several months of abuse like that is pretty good. They get the job done in basic style....I've caught tons of fish along with some 4-5' blacktips on these rigs. Side note - the 9' bigwater rods are still going strong...put some Penn reels on them and kept fishing. ... show more

Good value
Look, this is not a high-end reel. You want high end, you have to spend the $$ on Penn or the upper tier Daiwa's. It's a very good value for lake and inshore fishing. But, I recommend washing and oiling the reel if you will use it in salt or brackish water. My kids have a heavier, saltwater Shakespeare to use. I wanted the Alpha 50, but Amazon had it through third-party sellers for a higher price than Dick's Sporting Goods. Dicks had it for the same price as the Alpha 40 I bought. But, I would have to pay for shipping. Anyway, I'll deal with the slightly smaller one. It's replacing a Shakespeare I bought in the 1990s - also a lower-end one. ... show more

Excellent catfish reels

Great inexpensive catfishing reels. Perfect for 8 plus foot catfishing rods.

Junk
Style: Alpha30b
Looks like junk. They shipped both reels with no handles. What ever happened to quality control? If you want a good spinning reel under $50 just search. There are a bunch of them, from reliable manufacturers. Don't buy this junk.

Three stars for most affordable reel in size 70
Style: Alpha70b
I used to have an old alpha reel from 2008 or so which was great. It lasted for quite a while before it seized the drag completely. I was using it every summer 3-5 times a year for about 7 years for saltwater fishing from the beach. This new version is a complete disaster, it’s very flimsy, you never know when drag is engaged because it virtually makes no sound, so you will be turning the handle and adding twist to the line without bringing the fish in. You have to look at the reel to understand what is happening all time. Like I said the reason for 3 stars is the price. You can’t find anything cheaper for this size reel. ... show more

Great bang for the buck!
Style: Alpha70b
For 15$ this reel has held up to a lot of abuse and big fish! You get what you pay for but this thing is worth every penny. Landed 50lb black drum, bull reds, aligator gar, huge blue cats, etc. They aren't built to last a lifetime but I have had the same one last me a full season of saltwater and freshwater fishing before failing. And I didn't stress about dropping it in the water or mud like my expensive reels, never even opened it up for a cleaning and it still served me well trip after trip. Great reel for the money, sometimes they can be found for dirt cheap when they go on sale. ... show more
