Just finished with offshore trip and I wanted to put this reel to the test. Living and fishing in Maui, we have all kinds of fish, so you never know whatcha gonna get. Best be prepared. I bought the Penn Sq 40 and spooled with 50lb braid with 40lb mono. It held tons of braid before getting to the third inside marker. I like the inside markers, kinda tells you how much line you got. I filled up the remaining marker with 40lb mono, so thats about 100 yrds of mono.Caught 2 x 30lb mahi mahi with the drag set to 3 1/2. The drag has numbers from 1-4 and you can control the how tight by the knob. 3 1/2 was pretty tight and I used that as a my gauge.I love the fact the reel is very light.I teamed this with a 50-130 lb Okuma pole fr Wmart and the combo is unreal. Very very light setup. My back loves me. Fighting fish for 20 minutes with a heavy reel and pole, yeah.. good luck with that, those days are gone.I did not like the clicker, it has 3 settings, which is annoying and no need. You can not free spool if the clicker is set. After grabbing bait, and hooking, your hands will be wet and the little button to turn off free spool, so your bait can swim away is a pain in the okole. Especially I need to set back on when I get a strike, so I constantly need to click and unclick the clicker.Over all - not bad.. my best and lightest mid-range setup. Might get another one.

Great Reel, this is my 2nd purchase of the same reel as it worked flawless on my last tuna fishing trip out of San Diego, CA. I liked my 1st reel so much I decided to purchase a second. Only drawback is it is made in China and not in the USA like the Avet reels. If you are looking for a reliable reel that gets the job done and doesn't break the bank, then this is the reel for you. the Lever Drag is great as it's low profile keeps out of the way of the line. The rings inside the reel are nice too as you can tell how much line you have left on the reel. I put 390 yards of P Line 30lb test monofilament on it and it was more than enough to handle the Tuna.I wanted to stick with the same model and brand reel on both of my rods to keep consistent with the function of the reel. I have seen too many fish lost due to thinking you have one reel and you have a different reel and the functions are different. Remember if you want to catch fish then don't bring bananas on the boat!!

First conventional for me. Been using Penn 750 & 850SS for kayak trolling for pelagics. I now run this reel on one side and spinner on the other - very pleased. Looks good, is smooth and I like the lever drag. Can't comment on longevity as I've not even had it a year. I probably fish 1-2 times/mo on average, but when I go am out for 5-7 hours at a crack. Cost is a big factor for me and for the cost, I think this reel is a home run.

Get the 60LD and be the envy of all your friends! True story! Reel works very well and holds a boat load of line. Keep in mind though, you have to set the LD to free spool BEFORE using the spool tensioner, otherwise it will throw off the drag. Spoken from experience, sadly.

Great product I used it on a fishing charter for American red snapper. I had no trouble brining snapper and grouper off the bottom before they had a chance to rock me up. I also pulled in some amber jack in less than 8 minutes with no trouble.

Bought this as a gift for my son, very smooth retrieve and the retractable “switchblade” rings that you clip in on is a great feature when not in use. For the money it’s a great reel.

Product arrived earlier than expected with accurate tracking throughout. New in box and packaged as to not allow any damage. Will definitely shop again in the future, well done.

I have no regrets, purchasing this Reel, It has caught numerous big fish effortlessly. I recommend this drag to any fisherman that wants a very smooth experience on the water.

I returned this product because it did not meet my needs for kayak fishing. But, it is a well built reel that if I owned a boat would be at the top of my "buy it now list."

Great reel. Could only spoil about 500 yards of 100lb braid and topped with 25 yds of mono but handles great. Smooth reel. No problem landing catch.

All I know is my father has fished his whole life and he's 86 now. He wanted this for Xmas '19. So I know this is a good buy if he wanted it.

Nice reel especially for the price. Has held up to a few months of abuse in Baja. Love the lever drag when fighting large fish.
