  • Not for salt water
Style: Apex-1000
This is a very nice reel and compares favorably with higher priced brands, but do not use it in salt water the magnesium body will get eaten up by the salt faster than aluminum. There is a couple of reviews stating that they had no problems in salt. but give it time after repeated use in salt water it will deteriorate even if you clean it, so don't do it if you want the reel to last. ... show more

  • Tempo/Amazon and other worldly customer service
Style: Apex-2000
I initially bought a 2000 size but returned it though it had everything it claimed. The cost was $60. There was ghost customer service with Amazon and Tempo both and no adequate paper work. About a year later, the price had fallen to $39.95 for the 2000 which I bought. The 1000 with the American Express points and 20% discount was about $29.95 and I bought that also. The contact with Tempo I have found impossible. I assume Jimmy Hoffa is the Customer Service manager. They both look and feel great and I am going to keep them. Now they have a Tempo Apex Plus with the exact same specs but with an increased $30 price tag. The Apex Plus is item number m-apex 1000. I have apex 1000. The description is exactly the same. If you can buy them for what I paid I would. No parts spools with no resale value. ... show more

  • For half the price it would be a decent reel
Style: Apex-3000
Really wanted to like this reel. After some use its not a bad reel . It’s just not worth the premium price for an “off brand “reel. Decent reel especially for fresh water with a solid drag. In saltwater it started feelIng rough after a couple trips. Would say it’s about the same as many of the $30-$40 off brand reels or the lower end of the brand name models. ... show more

  • My new go too reel
Style: Apex-3000
Used this reel for a weekend of spotted sea trout fishing. The reel is super light and when paired with a light rod makes for a great rig. The reel casts and retrieves as good any. The drag is easy to manage and works well. The reel seemed to hold up well in the salt water. Only time will tell how it holds up over time. I liked it so much I already ordered another one just like it. ... show more

  • Very nice and feel very good
Style: Apex-1000
Very nice and smooth fishing reel. It looks very small but works very good. I was surprised by how much I like it. I put it on my old medium heavy rod and it is great for white bass and it works very well

  • Great for light tackle saltwater kayak fishing
Style: Apex-1000
This reel is probably the best in my entire collection. I have been using in salt water for many months hardly ever rinsing or cleaning and it remains as perfect condition as when I took out of the box. Great ultra light for kayak fishing in salt water.

  • I am surprised the reel is so small
Style: Apex-4000
I bought this for surf casting. It may be used for big bluefish (>15 lbs) or striped bass. The reel seems awfully small, and the line capacity (180 yards braided 30 lb test) is surprising. More when I have a chance to test it.
