Giorgio Guidoni : Una piacevole sorpresa

Ho acquistato questo mulinello perchè sarei dovuto andare a pesca il giorno seguente ed era sabato, non posso che ritenermi soddisfatto di amazon prime che mi ha salvato l'uscita a pesca. Utilizzo questo mulinello in una canna leggerissima per traina alle aguglie o altri pesci da usare come esche vive, il filo in dotazione non è il top per il mare anche per il colore ma nel complesso il mulo posso definirlo un buon prodotto, scorrevole e resistente. Ovviamente non adatto a pesca pesante, per pescate leggere al laghetto va benissimo o per pesca leggera al mare. In questo ultimo caso consiglio vivamente di lavare il mulinello a fine stagione con acqua dolce e riingrassare un po' l'interno.

snake : Five Stars

Quality product at great price.

Giuseppe : economico

come la maggior parte dei mulinelli di un certo prezzo, molta plastica. consiglio di sostituire il filo della bobina, molto poco "buono" per pescatori "garisti"

Kindle Customer : O/K

Good cheap reel for beach casting

Richard Howard : Nice reel for the price

Very happy with this simple reel. Has a nice feel to it and I might stick with the line provided for now. It's good quality for the price.

BODGER32 : Poor mono

Appears a decent reel, not had chance yo use it yet and would have liked it to come with brown line as shown in the pic, and not white mono, but being a bit picky there i think. Good price for an assured quality brand.
Update:
So i went fishing with this reel, as expected, a good reel from shakespear.
Shame about the cheap line that had to be swapped out as it exploded off the spool(first cast) into a birds nest tangle, which is why ive now reduced to 3 stars.

Twosheds : Good reel, loose line

The reel is fine and works as it should. First time of using I had a huge tangle due to the pre-loaded line being too loose. I managed to salvage my tackle and cut several metres of line off. Seems to be better now.
