However, with that being said, once I replaced the handle, with a decent one, I have had no problems with it in brackish water and fresh water. When I inlude the cost of the reel and new handle, I feel like I have a solid set up and come in less than other reels.

Answer: I do surf fishin at the goalf of Mexico. I have reeled in 30 lbs reds and black drums with no issues with the reel. Dont know how big the king salmos get but for the zise of the reel, this is preety good...

The crank handle fell off my reel after 2 days of very light use- do these have any sort of warranty on them?

Answer: Mine came off in shipping and at least 2 other times when it was in my boat, luckily I found the screw each time and I put it tighter each time, perhaps you lost the screw, you could get a new screw at a local hardware or take one from a seldom used reel, its a pretty good reel but I don't know about the warranty

Answer: This is a common problem with the new reels it happens sometimes just make sure you tighten up the handle tighten up everything if it comes loose get a hold of Amazon and send it back I wasn’t impressed by it I got rid of mine hope this helps

Answer: Yes as far as I know but you do know that you can put the handle on either side I haven't had any problems with mine just tightly turn the screw to tighten it up if you lost the screw text the company

Answer: Try contacting the manufacturer and if that fails check with Amazon about the return policy on their website for more information. Hope this helps.

Cuanto pesa este carrete

Is the handle reversible?

Answer: The handle is reversible. Easily changed

Answer: Yes of course. Pretty sure all spinning reels have reversible handles nowadays. Nice reel.

Answer: Yes the handle is reversible

Answer: very nice reel.

Answer: yes

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes it

Is this the TT3000?

Answer: Not a great product unfortunately. The handle will break on you . I had it happen on more than 1/2 the ones I bought. And threw them all away. I should have returned them but not worth the time. I am a full time fishing guide and my time = $$

Answer: yes

Can i still get free shipping if the item's price is over $35, even not using prime service?

Answer: Depends on the company

Will this hold 20-50 pound test braid?

Answer: This reel is rated to 18lb mono. So if your looking to put mono or flor on this reel at 20 - 50lb the T6000 will not hold much line. However, braided line is a completely different story. Depending on the brand you can put up to 65lb of braided line on this reel. With that high of the pound test I believe you will have other issues like the drag but I am using 30lb braid now with no issues. The line diameter is what you truly need to look at and top for the T6000 is .45

Answer: Not the 2000 or 3000 go bigger reel 4000 5000

Answer: Definitely i have 20lb power pro on mine

Answer: Yes,I have 30lb on mine.

need to get a replacement part for this reel. the knob that holds the handle fell off and i think there where a few o rings in there as well

Answer: Call the company service they will help u

Which one is the best size for crappie fishing?

Answer: None this reel is garbage handle broke within the first hour of use total ripoff

Is this really a 12+1 bering reel, I have bought in the past and there has not been even close, can you outline in the reel where each of the berings?

Answer: I don’t know where the ball bearings are exactly but what I can tell you is the reel is not too sturdy, I had a six pound snapper on a few weeks ago and it basically shut down and would not wind, the handle came apart and I ended up hand landing the fish, spend the extra dollars on penn reels it’s worth it.

Product reviews of Burning Shark Fishing Reels- 12+1 BB, Light and Smooth Spinning Reels, Powerful Carbon Fiber Drag, Saltwater and Freshwater Fishing

Anthony : Smooth casting

Spins very easy cast nice perfect for river fishing which is why I bought it . I’m not a guy who fishes every week but this reel seemed to be built nice and will last a long time I think very smooth casting and reeling in with very glad I bought it

Aris Vila : Not so happy

Shore fishing at night with this reel is not good alot of stuff is falling apart the screw on ball by the retrieve fell and the latch keep folding ???? woulda been nice if it lasted at least a week but this happened on the 1st time i tried it.

haley koch : CRAP CRAP CRAP

I BOUGHT THIS REEL TO TAKE ON VACATION DID NOT USE IT BEFORE WE WENT WHAT A MISTAKE. HANDLE BROKE WITHIN THE FIRST 20 CASTS SO MUCH FOR USING IT . LUCKLY I BROUGHT A SPARE OLDER SHIMANO WHICH STILL WORKED FOR BEING 10 YEARS OLD. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE . FOR SALE 1 BROKEN ASS REEL CHEAP

Branden : Looks and feels alot better than I expected

Wow Alot better than I expected ☺️

Kelly : Updated: Awesome Customer Service!

Edit/Update:

After reading the intitial review I left (still included below) the seller personally reached out to me to resolve the issue. They replaced the reel at no cost to me.

The replacement does not exhibit any of the previous drag problems and is functioning quite well.

My new rating is 5 stars based on the company's customer service and overall value for the dollar. Are there nicer reels than this? Absolutely. Are you going to find a better one in this price range? Not likely.

I'd love to be able to rate this higher. I bought the 1000 model. It's a beautiful looking reel. It's larger than you would expect- it's closer to a 2000 in Shimano sizing.

The big problem is the drag. When I first got it the drag was completely locked up. I loosened it until the spool was flopping around and still couldn't pull any line. I eventually broke it loose by turning the spool by hand.

After getting the drag unseized, I found out that it is extremely erratic, meaning if you loosen it 3 clicks then tighten it 3 clicks you somehow don't get back to the same drag setting. Tonight I had the drag set where I wanted it, but had to tighten it 5 clicks to pull free of a snag. After I freed my line I loosened it 5 clicks and the drag was nowhere near where it was set previously. I've had to get in the habit of rechecking the drag every few casts.

Carl D. : Can I get my money back

Broke; not good for casting and only lasted ONE day.

dominick sherlock : catfish and 2 small sharks and the reel did not skip a beat it appears to be a good product Thanks

took to the coast and caught large gaffetops , catfish and 2 small sharks and the reel did not skip a beat it appears to be a good product Thanks!!

Michael Johnson : Top Quality Reel for low cost.

Very Eye Catching reel. Not very heavy but it does have some heft to it. Not as heavy as my Jason Mitchell. Bearings seem a little tight or maybe just a tad dry. A bit of bearing grease helps a bunch.

Kaav Her : Poorly manufactured

This was the worse reel anyone can get the reel arrive in good time.... i was super excited to use it at the coast we went fishing when i got there i had it all set up but as i was getting ready to cast i notice the handle was dangling... i took a closer look and notice the button to release the handle was missing so i could not use it at all... worse reel i have ever bought please stay away from it... never again

Alejandro sierra : Excellent

Excellent

Shadowchaser_3 : It seems smaller than I thought a Saltwater reel would be but it does the job.

I've been using this rod for a couple months now, I've caught large catfish weighing 20 lbs or more and extremely hard fighting Alligator Gar weighing as much as 30 lbs. This reel has been surprisingly up to the challenge. It's reeling motion is very smooth and strong. I'll probably be buying another soon to add to my arsenal.

Michael Johnson : Top Quality Reel for low cost.

Mark : Cannot beat the quality for the price.

I was skeptical at first ordering a fishing reel on line. Usually I will go to Walmart, Get a mid range reel and if I dont like it I can return it in 30 days. This reel advertised with 12 ball bearings, 1 roller bearing and it was beautiful. So for the price I could,nt go wrong. I bought it for Saltwater surf fishing and its absolutely perfect. I wont be going to Destin until next week and I cant wait to use it. Its smooth as silk , solidly built and I paired it with a 9 foot bass pro shops surf rod. I ordered the 5000 which is perfect for Bluefish, Drums, Sea trout and pier fishing. I will post pictures in 2 weeks but believe me, This is the best reel you will ever buy for the price....

John Wilson : Until they fix this problem don't buy

The handle lock on the reel is cheaply made and doesn't work right! When your reeling the handle keeps trying to fold in and is just a pain to even try to use

Nate Beaudoin : Looks nice, but may have gotten a dud

I love the look of it and it seems decent enough for the money but the reel sticks every 2-3 turns. It should be nice and free spinning but it just isn’t. I even took it apart and oiled it with fishing reel oil and it didn’t fix it. I may order another one and see if it’s the same or if this one is a dud, and then return this one if so.

DLD : Get rid of the folding handle

I'd give this reel a 4 star review but I deducted 2 stars for the handle folding while fighting even small fish. Get rid of the push to fold handle and you'll have an awesome reel for the money

Esequiel Jaime : flashingly beautiful

oh, my is what I said when I saw it. It is beautiful

J. WELCH : Very nice

Nice little reel

Robert H Rivera Jr : Cant handle the surf

3000 series reel worked like a champ for 2 fishing trips. Does not handle the saltwater very well. Better for freshwater only

Jesse Farren : Decent well made

Short answer: really decent. Whines a bit when pulling in fish above 10 inches.

Long answer: I have caught rockfish, perch, spot, croaker and bass with it and I've had it for a month. Perfect for small fish and a 6' pole. I use braid and can cast decently far with this. Farther than my 8 foot with nylon. Recommend for anyone perch fishing. I use typically the "Johnson beetle spin" from Walmart and catch a fish almost every throw when they are biting. The real casts about 25-30 yards with an 1/8 ounce beetle spin on a 6 foot pole.

Luke Nichols : The Reels are Gremlins...If they get WET you are SCREWED

I bought 6 of these reels and they come out of the box feeling like a much more expensive reel and they look amazing. however The reel handles flip over for storage and the locking mechanism that prevents them from folding is not machined well so 2 of the 6 reel handle would not lock and would fold up while reeling. I mostly fixed this by tapping the locking mechanism roughly with a hammer. but when you crank hard on the handle it would fold up on you from time to time still. the reel handle knob covers also tend to fall off frequently.

The big problem is WATER. They rust like CRAZY. 4 of my 6 reels got rained on for the first time (a very normal and harmless event for reels usually) and when I went to use them next day the gears had rusted so badly the handles would not turn with out tremendous effort and some have completely seized up. All the reels that got rained on are completely useless now. Even my kids spiderman reels and the cheap reels that you buy for $10 at Walmart can handle being rained on and occasionally dropped in the water. I currently own about 130 fishing reels and I have never had any other brand or model seize up just from rain. This isnt a one-off problem or a missing feature. these reels are just not designed for normal outdoor use around water.

Rick : Had to persuade the gold real handle cap to stay ...

Had to persuade the gold real handle cap to stay attached. Bail action is a bit rough but its not a $150 reel so keep your expectations in check.

Matches well with the 7' travel rod from the same manufacturer.

Aris Vila : Not so happy

Irvin D Snyder Jr : Good sturdy reel

Pulled several good bass with this reel. Only cautionary mention: The ball handle comes apart fairly easily. Put a little adhesive on it and you'll be fine

Edwin Graff : Present

Christmas present

Spinnerbate1 : Badass reel

This is one badass reel I use it for freshwater fishing and it works awesome and actually looks really cool I’ve done a lot of compliments on it so far

Shadowchaser_3 : It seems smaller than I thought a Saltwater reel would be but it does the job.

Amazon Customer : Great value

Very pleased with this reel . Took the chance with the low price and am very happy with it . A dozen surf trips and with a few good drag screamers and it still feels like it did when it came out of the box

Robert H Rivera Jr : Cant handle the surf

3000 series reel worked like a champ for 2 fishing trips. Does not handle the saltwater very well. Better for freshwater only

J C : The reel

Money well spent,good little reel

smoothtasb : Great performance

I waited to do my review until I tested this reel against some awesome fighting Redfish. It truly performed better than i expected. Drag worked perfectly. Way to go.

Jack M. : Super smooth

I received this item a month ago and have not used it yet. But I am impressed with how smoothly it glides and the bail snaps back. It's also a good looking reel. I purchased this item to go ocean surf fishing with. Hopefully it will hold up.

Adolphus R Rhines : quality

I like the look and quality of this reel. Thank You

Dennis B. : good reel

Love this reel, really smooth.
I would buy again

Alejandro sierra : Excellent

Excellent

J. WELCH : Very nice

Nice little reel

Mark Nunley : Excellent reel for the money!

Caught 20 big silver salmon with this reel right out of the box. Excellent reel for the money. Used braided line. Hard fighting fish. Reel held up well.

John Wilson : Until they fix this problem don't buy

The handle lock on the reel is cheaply made and doesn't work right! When your reeling the handle keeps trying to fold in and is just a pain to even try to use

Mark : Cannot beat the quality for the price.

J. WELCH : Very nice

Nice little reel

Davidclepore : Beat bang for buck

I bought this real to replace an 'ugly stick' brand which broke on me after several uses...the burning shark is everything the ugly stick real should had been. Solid construction...beautiful materials, and super smooth action...when hooked on a 6lbs large mouth, it performs better than anyother real ive owned....

marcia carter : Stringing it properly

I cast out and it was great. The string came loose but it was smooth

Robert K Anderson : Better than EXPECTED and great for the money!

I always buy name brand fishing stuff, but this reel is amazing and seems to be a steal for the price.

Robert K Anderson : Better than EXPECTED and great for the money!

I always buy name brand fishing stuff, but this reel is amazing and seems to be a steal for the price.

scott leach : This reel is junk!

Piece of junk!! Went fishing Salmon in Michigan. New outta the box landed 6 fish. That was it!! Spindle bent. Anti Reverse broke. Finally cheap gears bound up. The end! DO NOT BUY THIS REEL A ZEBCO 202 IS BETTER BUILT!

Bronx : Best

Best hunting reel i ever shot

dominick sherlock : catfish and 2 small sharks and the reel did not skip a beat it appears to be a good product Thanks

took to the coast and caught large gaffetops , catfish and 2 small sharks and the reel did not skip a beat it appears to be a good product Thanks!!

Mark : Cannot beat the quality for the price.

Tom Watson : Poor quality!

Save your money! It arrived with a handle that will not walk in place for retrieval. Have not been able to reach customer service. Basically the product looks good but he’s a piece of Crap!
