I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who loves fishing. It truly simplifies casting for anyone, especially easy to use. It is a light weight and not intended for heavy game fishing, but for panfish, small trout, or any fish less than 4 lbs it will perform well. Be sure that the drag is not set overly tight. It certainly is not designed to perform like an expensive reel, but for the price, the kids will have hundreds of dollars worth of fun.

I have used these little reels for years, but the quality of the material is getting cheaper. They have a short lifespan and if used a lot will wear out pretty quickly. I recently purchased 2 of the reels and the pickup pin broke on the 2nd day of use on one of them and had to be returned.

Just as expected. Compact, lightweight and smooth action. Pre wound with line. Easily converted from left to right hand retrieve. Very happy. Caught some nice bass with it already. Thanks.

For those that want a closed faced under-spin reel, this is the one. At first I bought just one but after using it a few times I went back and bought two more. This reel is very smooth on casting and retrieval allowing you to focus on where the action is.
