Product reviews of Hunter's Tail Fishing Reel, Spinning Fishing Reels Handle Parts Freshwater Double Bearing Light Smooth Casting 5.2:1Light Weight Ultra Smooth Powerful

Valentine : Excellent quality, but

I used a closed reel for YEARS and I decided to switch to a spinning reel because that just seemed like the thing to do. I hate it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this reel, it is extremely sturdy and feels like it could last years, but I hate spinning reels apparently. I don't like the mechanics of them, I'm too used to pushing a button or pulling a lever to cast. This product is great, but spinning reels are not for me.

Ricard Osteen : Reels are crap!

Both feels broke on first use. These are crap!

Raptor : Just ok

I wasn't expecting much for this price. It feels smooth but the bail does not close well. I don't think this will hold up well. It is just a back up for the truck under the seat rod. I does look cool with blue braid on it..

evelyn vervoort : Great product.

Would purchase again. Found this product on a deal, was not sure but its great. Look forward to go fishing to try it out

L : Didn’t last

Didn’t last for even a month. Won’t turn anymore

SamuelT : Works

Use mine a lot with no problems, good reel. Cant beat the price either.

Hannah : Amzing

Amzing

David Boyd : Price

Awesome reel

Richard C Backus : I bought it as a spare reel

This reel is excellent for the weekend hobbyist fisherman like myself. I love how smooth the reel feels , it feels much better than anything you will find at Walmart. They've outlasted some of my "name brand" reels from retail stores. As a spare reel is a nice touch because you never know when you'll need it.

texcene grant : Haven’t use as yet

Love it plus color is nice

Amazon Customer : Great reel

Great reel for the price. So far has lasted for a few months with no issues.

Ted Hultberg : Exactly what I was looking for

Perfect for trout fishing. Lightweight, strong, smooth and well made. Appears to be durable and a great value for the money.

Amazon Customer : On time and as described.

On time and as described.

Dirk Schröder : Funktioniert sehr gut kein Schrott.

Gute Rolle für wenig Geld

tiffany : Thumbs up

My big fisherman husband gave this a thumbs up for the price it ran at!

Markus & Mickey Mouse from Florida : Stoked ????????

light weight and seems durable.

Amazon Customer : Don’t seem to hold up to salt water.

They worked for the week that we were on vacation but not much after that. Salt water was tough on them.

Valentine : Excellent quality, but

ILoveElectronics! : Fishing reel

I liked that it was inexpensive and fit well on my telescopic fishing pole. The few times I used it, it worked well. Only downside was that I had to spool the thing myself.

curtis : cant be for the price

works like it should

Hannah : Amzing

Amzing

Smittendogo21 : Simple but very versatile.

For the price it’s way better than I hoped for. I spooled 20lb mono on it and it’s great for carp. For under 20$ your getting a great deal.

J. Michael Green : fast delivery, works well. battery dies too soon

Tataaaah! : Attractive and smooth out of the box--until used, then junk.

I rarely write reviews. This one requires it. There are many positive reviews for this reel. I wonder how many are real.

Without boring everybody, after ONE--repeat, ONE--saltwater outing in a kayak, without the reel having been dunked...

The GOOD:
- very smooth out of the box, fund to play with;
- attractive;
- bail wire is unexpectedly thick and durable for a reel this size.

The NEUTRAL:
- size FB4000 is much smaller than expected. It is more like a size 3xxx for most other brands.
- paint flaking off bling parts of reel do not interfere with functioning.

The BAD: (remember, ONE saltwater kayaking outing)
- exterior screws all rusting within 1 week after trip (yes, the reel was rinsed with fresh water after kayaking);
- handle VERY difficult to rotate, and gritty;
- bail mechanism not easy to close, and gritty.

So here's the reason: garbage materials and poor design. I know spinning reels (I restore them as a hobby). I disassembled this reel to see what was the problem:

- the "12 ball bearing" design is very smooth out of the box. However, the bearing is NOT SHIELDED. Once removed (already difficult to do after ONE saltwater trip, it contained rust among the ball bearings and turned very roughtly;
- the interior of the reel was full of water. The way this thing is designed, water entering the reel cannot drain out. In other words, the guts of your reel are being constantly bathed in water if any should get in;
- the original "grease" on the gears and moving parts feels more like light petroleum jelly--and there is VERY little of it. Many of the mating gears have no lube at all, and the spool shaft was stained with broken down lubricant and rust from who knows where.

I filled the interior of the reel with heavy duty grease, literally about 60% full, and heavily doused all moving parts and any exposed metal. I completely filled every space in the bearing with grease. After disassembly, it took some effort to spin the spool, but it eventually "broke free", which I suspect was the ball bearings breaking out of their rust (again, after a single saltwater outing). I expect that my "restoration" of this reel--repeat, after ONE saltwater trip--will give me another 3-5 trips before this reel is trashed completely.

Caveat emptor.

Michael r. : Cheap product

Reel stopped working after one cast and first fish,which was a small bream,I know it was only &14.11 but I needed it to last a little longer,just wanted to I've my review,it will cost me more in gas to return it so I just threw it away,and will not purchase this product ever

Tarence : Just the reel no rod included

I bought 3 and planning to buy again

CHURCH STREET FORKLIFT : churchstreetforklift@gmail.com

For the price it is much better than I would have liked. She is amazing Beautiful reel FB6000

tiffany : Thumbs up

My big fisherman husband gave this a thumbs up for the price it ran at!

ethel janglee : Absolutely 110% not satisfied!!!!

I would not recommend this produts to anyone. After the second time using this reel it was so rusted that it seized inside. I had not choice but to throw it away. Now I'm looking for a better quality reel.

Gus F : Plastic Junk

Not comparable at all to the Penn reels as suggested by amazon, plastic cheap build, can't imagine it will last long.

Lucas Aquino : Get Something Else

It’s made very poorly. Used it 3 times and it the nut came loose and the whole handle broke off. Long story short you get what you pay for. Get something worth your money and time.

Bryan Mercado : Alright for it’s price

Pretty big reel but for now it casts and runs smooth honestly it’s what I expected for that price
