Product arrived on time and as advertised. I am new to baitcasters and this seemed like a great budget friendly start.Out of the box the reel is smooth a seems well made. It is on the smaller side, though the advertised line capacity will suit my needs. The side cover pops out and also locks back in place with a confident click. I plan to pair this with a medium or medium-heavy rod in the 6’6” range. Hopefully it performs as well as they say it does on the Picsifun YouTube channel

Ich bin durch eine Amazon Rezension auf dieses Produkt gestoßen. Nach etwas Recherche habe ich mich zum Kauf entschieden und bereue es nicht. Die Rolle lässt sich sehr fein einstellen, ist ultraleicht und dabei sehr stabil. Ich zocken damit Barsche, die Rolle kommt mit leichten Gewichten hervorragend zurecht. Wenn auch sehr unbekannt auf dem europäischen Markt, eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

I own 3 Phantoms and 2 Alloy M casting reels. Love'em all.The Phantoms are locked in for the lures they are used for, topwater, e.g Rapala13's, unweighted Yum Dingers and Trick worms. The Alloy M's got put to the test as frogging reels last summer. Yowsa!One of my Phantoms is starting show its age after 5 plus years of hard, bang around bank fishing, so I thought I'd retire it and replace it with this.As soon as I took it out of the box, I realized it would be perfect on a Lamiglas X11 ultralight casting rod I bought years ago but had never used. It is a 2-8 lb 7ft-er. The two together weigh almost nothing.I also noted that it palms better than either the Phantom or the Alloy M.Despite its lightness, it feels rock solid and silky smooth. I decided to spool this reel up with some 15lb, 8 strand braid, .147 mm, to see if I could cast light lures.I set 2 inner brakes on and the outer dial to 4, tied on a 1/8 oz (3.5 grams) balsa plug, sans hooks, and sailed it an effortless 30-35 measured yards over 5 casts.I upped the overall weight to a 1/2 inch Thill weighted bobber plus a 1/16th jig and 2 inch tail, total just over 6 grams. Instant rocket launcher.I dropped to just a 1/16 jig head with a 2 inch trailer ( about 3 grams total). I got a little backlash, so I upped the outside dial to 6. It works!Here's the secret prize.I weighed the spool. I'm rounding here, and I didn't strip the spool.The spool on this jewel is just a tad over 10 grams without any strip down of bearings or brake plate. It is amazingly light. This means lighter lures can turn the spool.This puts it in the territory of all those expensive BFS reels for about $50!!!What we have here is a very smooth, very solid feeling casting reel that is easier to palm than the Phantom, as well as many other more expensive reels, and whose features give it a wider range of uses than any reel costing twice as much. OTH, now I'm going to have to get another one for tossing Dingers this spring.Good stuff!Okay, got the second one and spent some hours with it. This is $50 well spent dollars.It casts a Proberos/Megabass 110 jerkbait a mile. It casts a 1/2 oz poop bait a mile and a half. It pitches a jig 50 feet flawlessly.The ONLY beef I have is that the star drag is plastic. I never move the drag once I set it for a particular line test but some do.

smooth casting,haven't used it yet but have this brand already this my third baitcaster and they don't disappoint
