Product reviews of BASSDASH Alien Ultra Lightweight Carbon Spinning Fishing Reel, BlueMagic Reel with Aluminum Body and Carbon Rotor, Stainless Steel Bearings and Carbon Fiber Drag, in 5 Sizes

dbm101 : 1000 is Nice light reel for the money

I bought this to replace a 25 year old Shimano 2000, This isn't the cheapest reel on Amazon, probably because it has SS bearings. So far so good, I have caught about 10 small mouth bass on it and it works great and it is smooth and looks good. The anti-reverse is very tight. I hope it last for years but only time will tell....

Natasha Taylor : It can catch all types of fish

Works great. It reels really smooth and can catch all types of fish. It's my go to now.

ezvnvet : Smooth and lightweight

I’ve only used this reel once. That’s why I only gave it four stars. It is extremely light and has a smooth action. Durability remains to be determined. Over all this is a great reel

dbm101 : 1000 is Nice light reel for the money

Nicole : I'd dash for a Bassdash

I bought the 1000($16.95-price fell from $29.95) and 2000($23.95). This ,particularly the 1000, is ridiculously inexpensive. It is advertised as carbon rotor, side plate, and body in a way as to suggest carbon fiber to a new fisherman. However, they weight more than carbon fiber and I think are simply graphite. The reel seems quite rigid though. It is smooth , quiet and tight. The bail is 2 piece but done nicely like the bail on a Legalis($70+) and the handle is screw in as you might find in the Exceler($85). The drag is smooth with nice but low sound. I've read the reviews and would suggest drag grease --if you develop any stickiness-- and fish designed for its size. With 9+1 BB's, can't be beat. Durability?

2b : Affordable and well made for the price!

After using this reel for about a month I’d like to say it was well worth the price. If your looking for something affordable and durable this reel is well worth it. Very smooth as well.. The only thing I would say in regards to the reel is it’s not as light as I was hoping for. That’s only bc I’m use to my other reel. But other than that this reel is smooth on the cast and reel in, affordable, and durable. I was mainly targeting crappie with it and it sure did the job. For the price class you can’t beat it!

dbm101 : 1000 is Nice light reel for the money

Aaron Borunda : Awesome Reel!

I enjoy using this reel every time I go out fishing! For the price you can’t beat the quality of this reel. I also own other bassdash gear and it’s all good quality at a decent price!

Steven L. Rylander : Great ultralite reel!

So far, I really love this fishing reel. It has a very smooth operation and is well made. easy smooth casting
& retrieve. I have used this reel several times since I received it and I am very happy I purchased it. It is sturdy, lightweight and attractive. I would recommend this product. In addition, the product was shipped and received quickly and packaged well. No complaints here!

Chris T. : WOW... Did not expect this quality for what I paid!

Pretty sure you cant find a reel online or locally that can compare to this one at this price point. I was super impressed when it got here, and also after getting a chance to use. Incredibly light, very smooth, and the drag didn't hiccup on a few long runs with steelhead. I've owned a lot of reels from tons of companies and this definitely looks and functions as good as a lot of them well over $100. I cant praise its durability or lengthy usage... yet, but will write another review after a bunch of use.

Amazon Customer : Awesome reel for the price

I’ve been using this reel for over a month now and it’s exactly what I needed I have the 1000 size and it’s perfect for ultra light fishing. The reel is super light weight I can use this for hours no problem. Definitely great product considering the cost. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it does get occasional back lash.
