Fox : Fantastic reel!

Looks great, feels great and sits nice on the rod. I might purchase a second one in the future if they don't have a successor.

Joe S. : A great real for the price

I would’ve given this real five stars but the first time I had it out the line holder on the spool fell off. other than that I’ve caught several fish with no issues and for the price you can’t beat it

LURO : Thumbs up

Pretty slick little number for the money.

Slippy Fist : Sweet reel

Just took it out of the box and so far it seems like its good quality. Im about to put the braided line on and take the kayak out on the lake to test everything out.

Pt2
Still works great, I have given this reel to my youngest daughter for practice and fishing. It casts really good for a cheap spinning reel. I've officially switched to baitcaster reel nows. Anyways good cheap reel

Oh yeah btw the only part of this transaction that wasn't perfect was that Amazon told me I would have this product by Saturday, which is really the only reason I bought the reel. Anyways it's all good there was a hurricane and I know that had some effect on the shipping n delivery. Still so far 5 stars, if I can edit my review later I will give my opinion about how the reel works in action.

Ugly_penn : Surprisingly solid

Best 20 dollar reel I ever bought

Hugh : Good deal

Good

Raul medina : Good reviews

The lbs/yds is off. P

Steve Waters : Love it

Great fishing real
Works very well

Keenan P. : It broke

It broke before i even put it on the rod overalll trash

Trevor Lee Sousa : Great reel

Amazing reel for the price.

Nathen T : Vary good

For the money its perfect

AMC : Very disappointed

Thought I would venture outside of the box and purchase a different brand and I regret doing that it worked fine for the first fishing trip then it started sounding like the bearings were grinding and keep in mind I keep my Fishing equipment very clean!! Very disappointed

Raul medina : Good reviews

The lbs/yds is off. P

John ballz of steel : Horrible

This reel is junk it broke on my first coho salmon and the bearings sound like they are made with sand. Horrible dont waste your time or money! I put 3 stars because i wanted to make sure people see this.

Floridian : Very fine reel for the price

Been fishing going on 40 years now, have seen em all, reels, rods, lures, takes something really outstanding to get my undivided attention when it come to this tackle, this fish drop spinning reel really got my attention !! Ultralight, smooth as silk, just a fine made spinning reel. As good or even better than the marque named fishing tackle one sees advertised, my purchase was the BE1000 going To really enjoy bass fishing down here in south Florida with this reel, great quality, great delivery time at a superior price for this reel.

Wild Man : Great investment

Smooth spinning reel. Good reel for the money. I bought two of them. ????????

Jiggin J. : Good for Amateur use only

Stiff. Not smooth as you would expect for 12 bearings.

Jennifer R. : Highly recommend braid

I love the baitrunner feature. With braid it cast extremely far and smooth, highly recommend for flats fishing and using lures for snook.

Amazon Customer : Not at all what I thought I was ordering !

I thought I was buying an ultralight reel, turned out it was anything but. It was a full-sized reel and cannot be used on an ultralight rod. !!!!

Chou Vang : cheap price for a cheap reel

Finally got the reel and took it out for some bass fishing. I casts it out about 20x, top water and all of sudden. The reel broke on me. Well, you get what you pay for. Returning the reel for my money.

Floridian : Very fine reel for the price

AMC : Very disappointed

Mark : great reel
