### ⭐ TERRIBLE. LOST ALL MY BRAID.
*by J***S on March 12, 2024*

I bought the reel a few months ago. Finally used it for the first time today. After my first cast, the reel stopped working. I couldn’t retrieve any line, cus it seized terribly. I tried loosening and tightening the drag but it just wouldn’t work. Don’t waste your time or money.
