- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019Style: 8.2:1, Right HandVerified PurchaseI have owned many baitcaster reels. What I have found is that the more you pay, the more you get. That statement doesn't work for all products.
I can cast this thing a mile, same as my Shimano Metanium DC. It's incredible, and for the price it's definitely worth it. Probably should be $250. The low profile is great, if you're hiking around and just nice.
The noticeable difference between this and my Antares ($500) or Metanium ($500) is the crank is slightly chunkier, and less smooth. I mean, it's a small difference.
Compared to a $70 silver max (very nice), or a $140 Lews combo (great) it absolutely blows it away. And I love my Lews. It's 20% better than a Daiwa Fuego FGCT100.
Honestly would easily play $250 for this. Shimano is just unbeatable quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Break cover lock doesn’t lock all the way
Style: Gear Ratio: 7.2:1 | Size: 150 RightVerified PurchaseGreat out of the box. But after a couple casts I needed to adjust the break and when I went to close and lock it I split my thumb open trying to lock it. Very disappointing and painful.
I’m a beginner and researched this reel and most were positive. Debating whether to try another.
