Outstanding reel

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality

"You can spend a lot more for a reel in this class, but you won't get better performance or reliability than this very reasonably priced reel provides.
Grouper and snapper are my usual victims with this reel, and I've recently begun jigging with butterfly jigs with this reel and it works great!"

Best Levelwind Conventional Yet

February 15, 2010

By TNfisher

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality

"I have two 2000. I have the 2000 with 20lb mono and is very good for party boats and quick fishing outings with some friends. It is great for sailfish, grouper, mackerel, mahi, and awesome for fishing over reefs. My other 2000 has 30lb braid and will bring up the 50lb bluefin, midsized wahoo, kingfish, big mahi, and lots of grouper. The levelwind feature meake work alot easier for when you dont have to worry about line building up on one side of the reel. Highly recogmend it espcially for just $120 dollars."

"As a Charter Captain I have several of these reels and they are almost bullet proof! Keep them lubed and they will serve you well.... They have boated everything from 90+ lb Cobia to 60lb Striped bass, they are well suited for saltwater conditions and myself and my clients have NEVER been disapointed in them! These are a must for peole looking for an excelent reel for eeling for stripers!"

"I have owned and used this reel for 15 years and it has and still does perform just great.
It has hauled in many large fish and the drag is very smooth.
Tarpon, kings, cobia, sharks, goliath grouper, barracuda and many other fish were caught on this reel."
