Questions about Ardent Arrow Spinning Fishing Reel / 5.0:1 Gear Ratio / 5+1 Ball Bearing Design / High Strength Graphite Frame / Multi-Stack Drag System / Infinite Anti-Reverse

Does this casting reel have a flipping switch?

Answer: No it does not. It is thought a decent flipping and pitching reel. The drag is very smooth.(7.0:1)

Answer: No. Operates like a typical baitcaster. Nice reel though, worth the $.

Answer: It does not.

Answer: No it does not

Are these products made in China?

Answer: There made in Missouri. O e of the only reels made in the us

Answer: Not that I’m aware of

Can you in salt water fishing?

What size is this reel, I'm looking for the 3000 size.

Answer: This is the 3000. The drag is pretty bad on this reel. It is a very good looking reel, at first look it appears to be a Shimano Stradic fj. But thats the only thing this reel has in common with the stradic. I gave away mine, but i guess you get what you pay for.

Answer: Bought the 200.10 of em.great reels.

Answer: The AAW30BB is the 3000 size model.

So the 2000 and 3000 are basically the same real?

Answer: Hello, the main difference between these 2 reels is the line capacity. The 2000 has a capacity of 6 pounds/220 yards. The 3000 has a capacity of 10 pounds/155 yards. We hope this helps your purchase decision.

Answer: Yes, but the 3000 is just a little bigger.

Answer: yes just different sizes

Does it have a clicker tension knob?

Answer: This reel does have a tension knob, but it does not click.

Product reviews of Ardent Arrow Spinning Fishing Reel / 5.0:1 Gear Ratio / 5+1 Ball Bearing Design / High Strength Graphite Frame / Multi-Stack Drag System / Infinite Anti-Reverse

A. R. : Good product

Smooth, well built and good price point.

Amazon Customer : Love this thing!

This product was perfect! Easy to order and delivered quickly.

Daniel : Muy buena relación precio/calidad

Muy buen carrete. Lo unico que le impide tener 5 estrellas son detalles en algunos bordes/uniones del cuerpo. No parece ser algún defecto del manejo, sino de la fabricación. Por lo demás, esta excelente.

Sotto voce : Grandson pleaser deluxe

Birthday! For the grandson that goes pond fishing every weekend ... all day, this is the perfect reel. Nice tight reel, precision drag setting, Smooth bearings. Excellent value for money.

Amazon Customer : Won't break the bank !

Very nice reel !

TQ : Just an average, cheap baitcaster

There's nothing really special about this baitcaster. While it's smooth on a normal retrieve, a quick spin shows the low quality of the bearings and the noise they make. The spool spins fine, but not as smoothly or for as long as better quality casters. I'm going to disagree with the "high strength frame" statement as the foot is so thin and sharp it doesn't look like it would take long to crack under repeated hard use with heavy drag, not to mention the tips of the foot are slightly flexible. As compared to other reels in the price class, the positives with this one are the very comfortable foam handle knobs and the 7.51oz weight, as measured on a digital kitchen scale. Overall, the reel just feels cheap though. Do yourself a favor and save your money for a better reel. If you're on a very tight budget and rarely ever fish, sure it'll get your bait in the water and do what it needs to do, but it's not going to out perform more expensive offerings.

Bryan Newman : A Beautiful, Smooth Reeling Reel

This is a beautiful and wonderfully functional reel. Aesthetically it is stunning with its brilliant white although that is not my purpose for purchasing a reel. I want functionality...long lasting functionality. Right out of the box and mounted, it feels great. The action is smooth and fluid. I was able to get line onto it quickly. The gearing just sucks up the lineage on each turn, perhaps faster than any reel I have owned. There will be the test of time, but right now it is easily the smoothest working reel in my arsenal.

I put a casting plug onto the line and tested it in the side yard (our open water season is pretty much done for the year.) Casts were smooth and the bail flipped over consistently with perhaps a little more resistance than normal. Again, the retrieve was fast, I would have imagine that they retrieve for a twister tail next spring will be very slow.

I like the size, I put it on a single piece light rod that I typically use for crappie and walleye jigging on the river. The only thing bad I can think of about this reel is that is came in November. March seems so far away... I'll update as I see how well it takes abuse of actual fishing.

Andi M. : Larger than I thought but will work fine

Smooth and sweet

A Week In Scott's Life : Works great. Spins smoothly and with ease

Works great. Spins smoothly and with ease. Keeps line tight.

A. R. : Good product

Smooth, well built and good price point.
