good reel ... until,November 16, 2009
By sully8from Woodstock, GA
Disadvantages: Durability
"I've had good Diawas in the past so I bought this in March 2009 w/o checking reviews. It's a little loud during the cast but distance is good and the drag is smooth. It worked great for a while but the Twitchin' Bar (which I never used) screwed up this week, 8 months of weekly trips after purchase. The bar flips down randomly during retrieve, making the reel unusable. Took it apart and tried everything to no avail. I just ordered my 2nd PQ to replace it. Now, that's a great reel for $100!"

"This is my first baitcast reel and I really enjoy using. The twitching bar sometimes gets stuck. This is the only thing that I think is bad about this reel. It is really smooth and I enjoy using it."

best bait caster for the buck,October 12, 2009
By fishindudefrom holiday, FLA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Style/Design, Value for money
"This is my first bait caster reel and after I dialed it in I feel like a pro . This reel is very easy to fine tune, and once you spend a little time tuneing it in you will be amazed how well this thing works. I have used other peoples reels and always bird nested the line so I was always affraid of useing a bait caster. I highly recomend this reel for the first timer not only for how well it works but for the price. I used my new reel last week end and I love how well it handles when reeling in a fish. I think now I will replace my old spinning reels. Just remember to follow the recomended line and capacity it makes a big differrence. If you dont know how to cast it just jump on the web and watch a few videos."
