Questions about Goture Spinning Fishing Reel - Metal Spool 6+1BB Freshwater Fishing Reel 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Series

Is this a saltwater or freshwater reel?

Answer: It would be better to be used in freshwater. Surely it can also be used in saltwater but please remember to wash and clean it after each time of fishing. ^^

Answer: I live on the Gulf of Mexico and I have been using this reel almost every day. This is the best reel for the price that I have ever bought !!! An excellent reel for the money ! I would recommend it to anyone. Good luck.

Answer: The ad claims it is saltwater.

Answer: Both

what does this mean? "Baitfeeding System allows for disengagement ....".. is that like a baitrunner reel? i don't see a switch for it

Answer: I believe they are talking about the switch for the reverse, it allows for the reel to unwind and then flip it and the reel will not unwind.

Answer: It just means that when you click the anti reverse you can let line out by reeling backwards, at least that's what I think they are talking about. It's hard to tell with stuff from China.

Answer: It is like a baitrunner reel. The quality is good for the price. The translation from Chinese not so much...

Answer: I bought two of these. They are not baitfeeders. However, they are good looking reels for the money.

A 500 size reel is typically tiny,anyone know the specs?

Answer: It is a regular size bait casting reel that I used for large mouth bass fishing. I've only used it a few times thus far but it has worked very well each time.

Which reel do you recommend for an ultra light or ice fishing setup?

Answer: The 500 is better.

Does this reel come with a drag knob?

Answer: Yes,on the top of the reel. Used mine three times so far and works great and very smooth. Can control the strength very well.

Is this left and right hand reel ???

Answer: Can b either - rt. Or left. Crank can b removed and put on either side of reel

Answer: Its both just like all spinning reels, but don't wast your money, it is a piece of junk. the handle broke of the third time out.

Answer: A cap can be removed and the handle can be attached on either side.

Answer: YES.

Answer: Yes

Where or how can I purchase a spare spool?

Answer: I just received mine (September 15, 2016) and it came with an extra spool which surprised me since it wasn't advertised. I got the 500 series for ultra-light wild trout fishing.

Answer: I bought it for my husband. So I personally don't know about it but he loves it

Does it come with a line

Answer: No it doesn't come w/line.

Answer: Hi, it does not come with line, thanks!

Answer: It does not come with fishing line. I recommend about 160yards of 8lb test.

Answer: No line with the reel, must buy separately.

Is this goture or piscifun or both? i see people in the reviews referring to piscifun.

Answer: Hello, it is Goture now, and not piscifun. But we had the brand name and seller name as PISFUN before, and that why you saw PISFUN from the review, thanks!

Answer: my reel is a goture only other writing is model is GT500s....so far a nice reel

Answer: Mine say Goture on them. I have 2.

Answer: I wondered the same thing- one thing to remember is that many things like this and fish finders use the same parts to make different product lines- many made in china- I use the reels a lot - I have a saltwater size reel I have never used- too big for trout- keep them clean and lubes and screws secure and you should get a lot of use out of either one- look for price first- in most reels I wish they would come up with a better bail flip mechanism- most use a compression spring - I hate it. But if you don't abuse the reel- should get much use out of it-.

Answer: I'm not sure. They are very similar.

Answer: junk

Instant anti-reverse?

Answer: J. Castile's answer is accurate. The anti-reverse is acceptable, but not instant.

Answer: No. But it's not bad especially at this price in my opinion. As the description says, it's "quick" but not instant. I personally find the play acceptable at this price range. (I have the 500 series at $13)

Answer: Yes. Has a switch on the bottom to toggle this on and off.

Can I give it as a gift for Christmas?

Answer: of course,I think it's perfect for ice fishing and as a gift

Answer: if the person you are gifting it too appreciates a good reel then they would most definitely appreciate this one, so yes you can

Answer: Great gift. Any fisherman will be very happy with this reel.

Answer: I have one and another one saved in my amazon shopping cart! I would love getting one of these as a Christmas gift.

Answer: Sure it is a great gift

Answer: Yes, you can and may do and size bigger for larger fish like catfish and bass

will it fit shakespere micro spinning rod,which models? my previous reel dont fit(it junction is too long)

Answer: I do not have your rod. The reel foot on the JS1000 is 2 3/8 inches or about 6 cm.

Answer: I don't know but the model I bought isn't the one you would want anyway. They made smaller ones that may work for you. It is a nice reel though.

Answer: 2000-3000

I got a parts list with reel but nowhere to order parts?

It is printed on the box that the handle is interchangeable. My purchase does not seem to do that. Any help to change the handle?

Answer: It is interchangeable

Answer: There is a cap on the opposite side unscrews and releases the handle so the treaded handle screw can be switched to the other side.

Answer: Yes-u have to make sure to take out the little black washer on the screw side or the handle will no fit.

I got a parts list with reel but nowhere to order parts?

What's the difference in the different series

Answer:

Answer: Hello, the difference between different series including weight and line capacity, thanks!

Answer: If you're referring to the 1000, 2000, 2500, etc, it's the size of the reel

Answer: 2bb 4bb and 6bb usually denote the number of ball bearings in the reel so more ball bearings the smoother the action of the reel they this number is usually found on the casting spool with the reel size code line Gauge chart and info

is the fishmore 500 different from the pisfun 500 -- or are they the same reel?

Answer: Pisfun is the sender or company.. I order 4 and 2 at different time, the first 2 was fishmore.. they have a slight different spool with a not comfortable turning knob and number js500. The 2nd 2 was exactly like the pics they post in Amazon, GOTURE number gt500s with the comfortable handle knob. I didn't like the fishmore hand knob but they both works the same. Make sure you get the same exactly item in the pics for what you are paying for.

Is the reel made out of steel?

Answer: I don’t know of any fishing reels that are made of steel. This reel is all plastic and it is a piece of junk don’t waste your money.

Answer: The most important parts- the bearings are- otherwise- NORMAL use wont break it- it's not a hammer.

Does it come with the rod

Answer: No, it is the reel only.

Answer: No

Answer: nope

Answer: No

Does it come pre spooled with line?

Answer: I bought several and none came with line

Answer: No it doesn't. Luckily. So you can choose the line you want

Answer: Hello, it is about 6 KG/ 13.23 LB, thanks!

Product reviews of Goture Spinning Fishing Reel - Metal Spool 6+1BB Freshwater Fishing Reel 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Series

William West : Unbelievable Value

I purchased this a few months ago as a cheap alternative to my much smaller, main spinning reel. It performed admirably on a bachelor party in the Poconos where it was dunked in a lake at least three times.

I am writing this review from the beach in North Carolina on my last day of vacation and during a particularly strong period of introspection. I can now say that I have surf-fished for the first time and the reel stood up to being submerged in saltwater for 2 weeks while I bumbled my way through learning the ropes. When I say submerged, I mean it quite literally. It's main job was to sling a 3 oz Bucktail jig while spooled with way too much 30lb Power Pro. I didn't catch much, but the thing kept casting.

Upon inspection, the only issues appear to be that some of the screws have rusted a bit. In retrospect, I probably should have rinsed it in freshwater after each trip into the surf, but hindsight is 20/20, right?

Graham W. : Reel functions excellently but requires immediate preventative maintenance to guard against corrosion

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Lightweight but not flimsy, this reel pairs nicely with my KastKing Blackhawk rod and has a butter-smooth action. We'll see how it holds up over time to saltwater exposure but initial impressions are very good. I did experience a few really nasty line snarls but I attribute that to my rustiness when it comes to fishing in general and inexperience with braided line in particular.

UPDATE:
The reel has been in climate-controlled storage since it was originally used on a trip where it saw less than 24 hours of exposure to ambient humidity. Yet, when I took it out the other day I found that it had completely seized up. A partial disassembly revealed that various screws and small parts were badly rusted. For something that claims to be made of "Corrosion resistant construction and materials" this is pretty disappointing. If you buy one of these be prepared to give it a thorough cleaning and oiling as soon as possible after every use, and perhaps even periodically while it is stored.

Ray : initial impressions are good, time will see how it hold up.

When I purchased these, I never expected them to be penn battle's or shimano stradics. I wanted to see if I could get a serviceable reel in this low price range that would actually be of some use and not be a gimmick. I purchased one each of the 2000, 3000, and 4,000 series. The 3000 series seems like it will be the one that I use the most. I use this as a reel for the kids to fish with until they learn to appreciate a more expensive reel, and also for a loaner reel when I have to outfit the people I bring fishing that do not possess any gear of their own.
I am using this reel in saltwater in the southeast Louisiana coastal marshes. I finally had a chance to do a little fishing with it and this review is subject to change after more hours are put on the reel. the fit and finish are very nice on the reel for this price range. it looks more expensive than what it is in the finish department. I do not care for the fact that the body is graphite as I would have preferred cast metal but consider the price range. I used this reel for the first time for three days of fishing and caught only speckled trout so I did not have a chance to see how the reel would hold up fighting something heavier like redfish and testing the drag system as well. it did not give me any issues on this initial 3 day trip. the reel operated smoothly and retrieved and spooled the line just like it should have. On the first 3000 I received, the screw that holds the handle secured from the opposite side was stripped and would not tighten down properly so I contacted the seller and it was replaced with one that did not have these same issues........

Let me take a minute here to discuss the customer service form pisfun................

This has to be THE BEST customer service experience I have ever had. While there was a small bit of delay in the email exchange due to them being in China I presume the response was outstanding. They truly did send me out a new reel no questions asked when I explained to them the problem I was having. The lady I spoke to was very kind, and very helpful, and handled everything in a quick smooth matter. My new 3000 while arriving from china actually came quicker than I had expected. My point here is if you want to gamble and try one of these reels out they really did stand by their warranty/guarantee in my experience.

So back to the reel. One thing I did not care for was the little bit of back slack in the anti-reverse. In other words if you reel and stop it will have a slight bit of back travel or click before it completely stops. you will often notice this on cheap entry level reels as opposed to higher quality reels. However, when the reel was spooled, mounted, and fished with, this was hardly noticeable anymore at least to where it did not bother me nor did it catch my attention. I usually fish with a PENN battle 2 which is outstanding and quickly pick up on things like this with cheaper reels. I really need to put more time on this reel to see what problems will develop then I will adjust this review accordingly. usually on cheaper reels I will start to notice a gritty or binding feeling when reeling in especially after a large fish has run some of the drag out. I will be looking for this here as well. also after using in saltwater for some time it tens to have a gritty feel and loses it's smoothness when reeling in. if I experience these issues I will update.

so to sum it up, do not expect a $100 reel here but let's see if it's not serviceable enough for people on a budget or as a loaner reel or a reel for kids that can actually land fish. So far my impression has been good for this price range. My 3000 cost 15.99 when I purchased it but it is now 16.99. I do not feel like I would really pay any higher for another as the price point is what convinced me to try it out. But perhaps long term it will hold up fine then I wouldn't mind a buck or two more. only time will tell. basically I am hoping it will be on par with the 23-29 dollar entry level specials that all the name brand makers sell, but for less money. BTW don't expect to gain too much info from the reviews until the numbers are up as there are a lot of phony reviews here placed by who knows? If you look at the bizarre names and lofty claims made about the reel along with the incorrect nomenclature that real fisherman would never use, then the phony reviews are easy to spot. I am trying to give an honest assessment to people who really fish by someone who really fishes to see if this cheap reel might be a good or bad choice for you.

####################### UPDATE#################### 8/2/2016

I finally had a chance to take the 3000 series reel on a couple of trips where I put it to much use. Again, fishing saltwater coastal marshes in southeast La and species caught was speckled trout......or spotted sea trout to you Yankees :) So here is my best guess at reviewing this reel for people who are wondering. The reel certainly did it's job, and it did not give me any problems. But I think what you mostly notice about it when you really get into catching a lot of fish is there are choices out there that cost a little more, but the functioning of the reel is so much smoother than a much cheaper reel like this. Let me explain. It is not uncommon here this time of year to catch 40 trout per person to have a few keepers as there are so many undersized fish in the mix. So on a really good trip such as the last two I am using this reel constantly and landing fish only to release 90% of them right back in the water. The point is, the reel gets a serious workout. I wont remove any stars because it functioned fine and gave me no problems but the reel just isn't as smooth as my penn reels or even my cheaper mitchells that the kids fish with. I did not land any big reds these few trips, but I did have a few large sail cats and the drag system worked fine for those. My family fishes a lot. So much, that we know the difference between cheaper and better reels. I don't feel like I would want to use this reel all day long and on every trip. But, I am an experienced fisherman who goes often which is not the case for a lot of people. That's why, I will stay with my original rating and say this...I think this reel is perfectly fine for young kids who do not yet respect their gear, as a loaner reel for bringing people with you who do not possess their own gear, as a good back up reel as my buddy calls it who is a kayak fisherman that you do not fear if it falls overboard, or just anyone who needs a dependable reel but does not have a lot of money to spend. As I said, the reel functioned just fine it just doesn't feel like a 70-100 dollar reel. If you are a frequent fisherman, you will know what I mean. As an example, I went on Amazon 2 days ago and will replacing this 3000 series with a penn fierce 2500 for my sons pole because it was on sale for 46.99. This reel (pisfun) would do just fine for him, but he is becoming a more experienced fisherman so it is time for him to step up to higher quality but not the really expensive reels yet. But again, the pisfun is a great starter reel or for any of the above mentioned reasons. If you have the money and the experience, you would most likely opt for something more expensive. as of yet, the pisfun has given me no problems in it's function so I will keep the 4 star rating for reliability. I would maybe drop to 3 stars as far as describing the quality. I will need to use the reel longer in saltwater to see how it holds up in that respect, but I always rinse my gear with fresh water after every trip so I do not abuse my stuff.

N. Apuya : smooth light reel

I bought the 500 size for an ultralight setup I use for panfishing. It's perfectly sized and really lightweight. The drag is very smooth, great for light line. I'm not in love with the shape or texture of the grip on the handle, but it's still really usable and does help with grip when my hands are wet.

Claudio P. : Awesome reel!

This is an amazing reel for such a low price! The reel is a perfect size (3000 series) for me and the reeling feels great. I love the gripped handle on the reel spindle, which makes it easy to grip and reel in quickly. The reel is super smooth and feels really durable and well built. I also am a huge fan of the orange/bronze color scheme!

James Middleton : I had a Penn Pursuit reel that went bad on me after a year

I took this to the beach last weekend & did my usual surf & jetty fishing. I was surprised at how smooth the reel was. I didn't hook anything bigger than 15 or 16 inches, but it handled what I did hook with ease. I never felt anything but smoothness from it. I had a Penn Pursuit reel that went bad on me after a year, so this is its replacement. So far I'm enjoying it & will try it out again in another week ( hopefully on bigger fish).

reinvestor : Caught some great Walleye and Pike without any trouble at all

Took it fishing with me in Canada. Caught some great Walleye and Pike without any trouble at all. Used 12# braid and it cast straight and true. Very happy with it and great price.

IDR : I have similar reels I've paid $30 for and this one is just as good, if not better

Went with the 500 size to use for ice fishing. I have similar reels I've paid $30 for and this one is just as good, if not better. I also really enjoy the quick folding handle for putting them in rod bags. I will more than likely be ordering more in the future.

J. Campbell : Reel - Deal

Paired this with a Berkley Lightning Rod - 7' med., one piece intending to use for Reds & Specs on the Gulf. Will have to get back to you on performance. I've used a number of open-face reels before and this one seems like it'll do the job. Tried to find the 'sweet-spot' on a reel / rod combo. We'll see. Will update this review after the trip.

Bob Cullen : Really Cheap Reel I've ever purchased

I bought the 2000 series reel with an amazing low price of only $16.19 (19.99 - 10% coupon) which I do not expect the looking and performance as good as the name brands. Well, when I received it, it amazed me again by its appearance and workmanship. It has only 6 ball bearings but when I spin it by hands, I do not feel any roughness or hear any unusual noises. Because of the winter season, I cannot test it over water now and therefore not able to comment on its performance on real fishing practice. I am going to find out the answers next summer.

Tammy : Perfect for what I need it for!

Awesome cheap fishing real you won't regret purchasing. It works flawlessly and it has a very smooth cycle process as well. Definitely worth the money.

College Student : Better than my $150 Cabela's Reel!

This reel is at or exceeding the quality of my best reel from Cabela's that costed me $150.

I could not believe the smoothness of the retrieve when this came in the mail. After using it on my local river, I can confirm that this is the best value I have seen if you want top-notch quality for a price you can afford. It handled fish well, and the drag was not tempermental at all.

BUY IT

Bob Cullen : Really Cheap Reel I've ever purchased

Amazon Customer : Good quality reel

Lined the reel up, setup a slip bobber rig and went fishing with family. The cast and retrieve are very smooth and controlled. I like this reel and would buy another one if and when I do! Excellent reel!

ray quillen : spinninng reel

bought for smallmouth fishing in Michigan..sick this year and did not go

MrBill92124 : Not as good as my other Goture reels.

Unlike other Goture reels I've bought, this one seems kind of flimsy for its size. Also doesn't spool braid evenly. Definitely a lower quality product than I expected.

Ken : Good for the price.

Bought this for my spare rod. Took it out fishing a few times. Works good for the price.

John Dalton : justin

It's a cheep reel and cast far I think it was $15. Works for what i needed it for used 6 tines caught fish no problems

IMO Review : For the price, couldn't be happier

Honestly, I love this reel. For the money, this feels much more expensive. It has a very smooth cast and reel action. This is not a super expensive carbon lite Shimano reel. If you want that, go spend $100-200. What this is, however, is a very good replacement budget reel that I paid approximately $14. I paid 2-3 times more for low to midlevel "namebrand" reels in local brick and mortar stores that didn't feel as nice. This replaced a cheap Shakespear reel that came with my rod that eventually died after a few years. I go fishing only occasionally as a family past time. I am NOT an avid fisherman that goes weekly and owns a bass boat. I don't know that I believe their claim of 6 bearings, but, it definitely feels extremely smooth and makes it believable. I have used this several times so far, in both salt and freshwater, and have had success with it. I will update this review if/when this reel eventually degrades and/or dies, as I expect it will over time. However, based on current feel and use, I do expect this to last at least several years, and for the price, that makes this a steal. I am already planning on purchasing its bigger brother for a shore fishing pole I have as well as a twin or smaller for smaller freshwater fishing pole I use.

Claudio P. : Awesome reel!

oldguitarfart : Good reel but cheap drag system

Good reel but cheap drag system. You need to keep it dry. If it gets wet, remove the drag washers and let them dry outside of the reel and the reel will last a long time. Or just upgrade the drag washers!

ChrisD1234 : Plastic Bail/ but great customer service

The bail is plastic. It is held in place by a metal screw. The plastic stripped out holding the screw. I tried to put E600 in the hole to hold it but it did not work. I only was able to use it a few days.
I didn't use this until it was too late to return it. But the seller was great about replacing the broken part directly from the factory in China. It took a little while to get here but when it did I saw that they sent a whole new section of the reel, more than I needed. Thanks for GREAT customer service

armando rosselle : Quality control is not being done.

On opening reel box reel looks good. Then you start spinning handle and you see why it's cheap. The reel feels like gears are to tight and grinding. For six bearings it feels like zero.

pikey : One Star

garbage

snowdrops in MA : - A gift.

- I will write more of a review after my friend's fishing trip in early September. Thank you! CMJ

Steven Stutsman : Overall I like it a lot

Overall I like it a lot. Everything is smooth, and does cast a great distance. The only problem is where they have placed the button to unlock the crank handle. It seems every time I caught a fish I would have the handle unlock while reeling it in, and lost a number of fish because of that. That is the only problem I found, they just need to fix that problem.....

IP Knightly : it has performed really well that I bought a 2nd one and recommended to all of my friends

I normally don't write product review, but I've been very impressed with this reel and the customer service that I think they deserved to be recognized. I was very skeptical to buy such a cheap reel, but once I got it, it has performed really well that I bought a 2nd one and recommended to all of my friends. It's very light weight and it handled salt water flawlessly. I accidentally dropped it in the water a few times and forgot to clean it the same day...normally the reel would rust, stuck, stutter, but this reel remains smooth and continues to perform very well. I have caught many big fish (pictures attached) with this reel on a kayak and the reel and drag worked flawlessly. Most of the fish I caught was 30-40lbs and this reel was completely solid.

On to their customer service: The handle on my reel accidentally came lose and fell into the ocean. I contacted Customer Support and they responded immediately and sent me a brand new handle. I like that they stand behind their product and responded in a timely manner. Well done!

Amazon Customer : GREAT REEL

I was very surprised at the apparent quality and function of this reel for the price. Super smooth, continuous anti reverse, smooth drag. Of course, I've only had it a short time so I can't speak on durability. As far as 1st impression...I'm highly impressed. I do have 2 other different model Goture reels and they are both working beautifully after about 4 months of hard use.

Paul Worley : Great reel for the price

I bought the 1000 series to put on a 6’ lite Shakespeare rod. The reel is very smooth and cast easy. I have had a problem with the drag. It’s hard to get started on the threads to tighten. The problem is in the slip nut. If I take off the spool I have to put a lot of pressure on the turn to get it started.

MrBill92124 : Not as good as my other Goture reels.

Unlike other Goture reels I've bought, this one seems kind of flimsy for its size. Also doesn't spool braid evenly. Definitely a lower quality product than I expected.

Dov : First time out and 5 large trout

Smooth retrieve. The handle is very small and oblong. Not the most comfortable but so far I’m quite satisfied.

jack : Amazing Quality Reel for the Money!

I just rec'd my reel. I bought the 5000 size for catfish fishing. I am extremely impressed with the heft and the quality of this reel! With the gold accents it looks very expensine. It comes in a very nice box too. I just ordered a second one. Plus the price is Amazing at only $21! You won't be disappointed if you buy this reel!

Paul Worley : Great reel for the price

jack : Amazing Quality Reel for the Money!

LEE NEAL : Very nice product, great value for money reels feel good ...

Very nice product, great value for money reels feel good after spooling it up. Can't wait to hook that first fish with it

N. Apuya : smooth light reel

ronald j gamache jr : Fishing for a whopper

Fishing is a definite stress reliever, nothing like a nice day on the lake fishing. The GOTURE spinning reel is nice and durable. The craftsmanship is real nice. The spinning is nice and smooth.

Jonathan D. : Not bad.

This is a neat little reel. It isn't instant antireverse reverse but it's pretty quick and overall the quality feels nice. Used it a couple of times for crappie and trout and it works. For the money it's pretty good. Does come with a spare spool but the one I got was plastic garbage so one star off for that.

Juan Carlos : As discribed, but it isn't for saltwater

The reel is not bad, but The reel definitely isn't for saltwater fishing and less for extreme saltwater fishing,My reel is already damaged by using it directly in saltwater and not for this I will give 1 0 3 stars

David : Nice spinning reel.

I bought this spinning reel a few weeks ago and put it to test in the gulf speckled trout fishing. Great reel low price has the same drag system of other higher priced reels. The spinning reel is very smooth.

Yukii Huynh : Line jumps off spool often

For the price it's a pretty good cheap reel. Some problems I've had with it is that the line would jump off the reel a bit often. The bail has also started to bend downward. However this is probably because I live in Texas and leave it in my car where it gets really hot. I've used it a lot over the past several months, at least 20 hours a week. It is definitely worth it for the price.

Steven Stutsman : Overall I like it a lot

Paul Worley : Great reel for the price

Peter H Green : Very pleasantly surprised in the quality of this reel. ...

Very pleasantly surprised in the quality of this reel. Comparable to big name reels two or three times the price of this one. Buying one for the girlfriend as well.

West Palm bassin' : Glad I took the chance

This reel is very smooth, and the instant stop is perfect. This reel is so nice, I bought 2 more in the 2000 size. The only thing I don’t like about this particular reel is the handle is a little short, and the plastic, fake wood knob is tiny. I do like the colors of this reel too. Time will only tell the durability of this reel, but their customer service seems fantastic. They email you before the reel even ships to let you know, if you’re not completely satisfied, or, if you have any problems, to let them know. I would have no problem ordering any more of these reels if needed.

Amazon Customer : Junky reel and poor customer service

At first, I thought I was onto something. Affordable reel, low price, smooth operation. Then after about the fifth time out, the bail just fell apart as I was reeling, and unfortunately, one of the small pieces is lost somewhere in my boat. I contacted the company to ask if there was anything they could do for me, and they replied that they regret what happened, but the company is no longer making the reels, so they can't get replacement parts.

Dov : First time out and 5 large trout

Smooth retrieve. The handle is very small and oblong. Not the most comfortable but so far I’m quite satisfied.

Lisa : Pink n black reel

Love this reel! Matched my rod perfect! Worth the price.

reinvestor : Caught some great Walleye and Pike without any trouble at all

Took it fishing with me in Canada. Caught some great Walleye and Pike without any trouble at all. Used 12# braid and it cast straight and true. Very happy with it and great price.

Havlyn : Keep away!!

This reel came extremely hard to turn and I don’t have the experience to repair it. I live in the Bahamas so return is very difficult. What a waste of money!!!
