   I have used these reels on my fishing charter in the Gulf of Alaska for 4 years now. I own 11 of them. I use the 30 series for Salmon and the 40 series for Halibut. When you have a 30+ pound saltwater King Salmon or a 100+ pound Halibut on the end of your line, you NEED a great reel! I've had reels that cost 3 times what these do that don't perform well and don't hold up over time. The saltwater environment we subject our equipment to is brutal. These reels get a steady dose of big fish and saltwater all day, rinse of fresh water at night and a couple drops of oil twice a year. But they last. I have only had to replace two over the years. Not from failure, but from clients that just can't seem to hold onto a pole when there is a big fish on the other end. Very sad to see pole, reel and fish get away. Mostly the fish. But that's the life of a charter captain! Anyway, great reels at a fair price. Highly recommend!

   I think these reels are the best on the market for the money. They work well, have handled big stripers with ease on the drag, and look great. The counters are pretty close, which most of them are way off.....as were other brands I have used. These were within 1' using 30lb mono, with 200 yards on the reel. I would recommend these reels to anyone in the market for a quality counter reel.

   The reels are remarkably tough (I have 4 of them). I put 75 yards of backing using monofilament 20-pound test line to eliminate slipping and finished out the reel with 25-pound braided line.We trolled Lake Erie all summer and many Walleye lost their lives!

   The drag holds very well. I set it to 12# of drag and it did not weaken even after a hard fight that took a lot of line. Line counter accuracy is within a few feet at depths of 400 feet. and within a foot on depths less than 50 feet. Handle very comfortable to crank. I bought mine 9 months back and it is holding up very well. Ordered a second one and will likely replace all my reels over time with this model.

   I bought one of these a few years back for our annual Salmon fishing trip to Ketchikan. Bought a second one for my wife. This is a decent reel and has never failed me. It's well made and can take some abuse. I've caught more than a few Coho on this reel and for the price I think it's a great reel. You can spend a lot more but that won't help you catch any more fish.

   Bought two of these and I loved them! I can't say enough about the quality and feel of these. The easy access to clean out the line counter is really nice. For the money you spend it is well worth it. I had one got 20 feet down to the bottom of a lake for 30 minuets and brought it back up and to my amazement it had no water in it and no problems! Highly recommend these reels, I'd stick to the reel sizes in the middle so you can hold enough lime without having a massive reel on your rod.

   Fishing for walleye on Lake Erie can be a tough game and it takes a tough reel. Large line capacity and large reel handles are a great plus.6-10 pound fish really put a strain on reels, but this is up to the task. can't ask for a better reel in this price range

   I have several brands and models of trolling reels in my boat. This is my favorite for line counter large reels for lead core.

   Bought this for my 9'11” salmon rod. Use it out of the boat for trolling or bank fishing. Going to by a few more

   This reel looks like a high quality reel. If it performs well during the fishing season, I will buy more next year.
