  • So smooth
This is a great panfish reel. I've used it twice and caught over 4 dozen fish so far, the largest being a stocked rainbow trout. I put 4 lb S.O.S Mono by Leland Lures on it and it casts a light lure very far. It is surprisingly powerful for such a small reel. No issues with back lash or line twists in my 6 hours or so of using it. I've used mini crankbaits, in-line-spinners, trout magnets, vertical jigging, and a jig head on a bobber and have only positive things to say about it. Feels so smooth when reeling it in. Would definitely buy it again. ... show more

  • Junk. Not real Shimano product.
Junk. Not genuine Shimano product. Very disappointed. Emailed owner and no reply. Do NOT recommend!

  • Lucky reel..
I didn't had a chance to see how it performed. First trip with the reel for my girlfriend's pole, fish took it down the water. Ooops! Sorry! That's all I got. So not sure.
