Saltwater Spinning Reel,13+1BB Ultra Smooth Saltwater Fishing Reels,Powerful Carbon Drag,CNC Aluminum Spool & Handle

Very impressed I read other reviews but everyone’s opinion is different. The reels feel great got 2 6000 models. Drag is solid the gears are solid just need to fish them. Just a great price point I mean I van staals, Penn, daiwa reels etc but this seems to be a good reel

This reel was a great surprise when I received it. It looked great, the drag is just like another brands Super Stopper with Continuous Anti-Reverse. There is zero slop in the reels function and the bail is very smooth. I haven’t put a lot of hours on it but I have used it in the surf and it did great! EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with its quality for such an unbelievable price.

I haven't had a chance to actually use this but from what I am seeing it is very nice quality. VERY smooth operation. If they had made the side screw on cap (opposite of the handle) out of metal instead of plastic it would be much better. It feels weak and you will have to be very careful with it. One reviewer showed his broke. Even if they just made it of quality plastic that would work to. The handle it's is very nice. The reel feels much more expensive than what they cost.

I've used this fishing off the jetty, fishing for rockfish. for a couple months now works well. Good made inexpensive, reel

Quality out of the box is impressive. Chinese products are definitely improving. I hope to use the 5000 model I bought for inshore fishing but may have to use it for catfishing first, as I can't find an ocean here in Kansas.

Bought this for month long trip to the Florida keys for live baiting under balloon while bottom fishing and some light trolling for kings and Spanish mackerel. Hooked several sharks and barracuda and held up well. Fought one shark that I got up to my 18’6” boat twice (shark was easily half length of boat) for close to an hour chasing with boat. 35 lb braid finally popped but reel held up well. Purchased 5000 size. Smooth operation, comfortable ergonomics. Had rod on boat 20 out of 28 days and no worse for wear and salt exposure. I would usually take it out over the penn 5500 that I have had since 1989 as the large round handle was more comfortable.

Smooth action

Reel is very smooth and balanced in your hand. Only time will tell on durability however the quality feels great. The drag works perfect and love the click sound the drag makes (nice job getting that right).
