Questions about SeaKnight FALCAN2 Baitcasting Reel,7.2:1/8.1:1 Gear Ratio High Speed Smooth Baitcast Fishing Reel,17.6 Lb Carbon Fiber Drag Baitcasters, 10+1 Shielded Bearings Low Profile Reel

Would this be a good reel for catfishing

Answer: No sir. This reel is just ok. If you load it too much it will not work long term. Mine lasted about 2 months before it started squeaking and rattling. I did accidentally hook a 6 foot long gar pike and that was the end of my reel.

Answer: It is a high speed reel. Kind of a waste for catfishing, but you could still use it.

Can you spool this with 8lb fluorocarbon line on a light action ugly stik?

Answer: I’m using 12 lb line and it’s spools really nice

Answer: I don't see why you could not.

It's called the "Sea"Knight, can I assume it'll hold up pretty well for flounder in saltwater?

Answer: SeaKnight Falcon baitcasting fishing reel can be used in freshwater, not a saltwater reel.

Answer: I don't know. I use

Answer: Yes

Is this reel saltwater rated?

Answer: I do not believe it is

Answer: it is not saltwater rated but I use mine in the surf all the time. just make sure you dont drop it in the sand, rinse it off with freshwater when done, and lightly grease the innards from time to time. I JUST caught a 20lb butterfly ray in the surf earlier this week and it was a fun fight. very smooth drag, to the point I had to look down to make sure the butterfly ray was actually taking line out. But I take pretty good care of the reel. Now you may have to give it a good cleaning more often than a sealed reel but it is MUCH cheaper than all sealed reels.

Answer: No

How lite of a lure will it cast?

Answer: I sent it back. Not well made at all in my opinion

Answer: Nice for the price

Is this reel saltwater rated?

Answer: I do not believe it is

Answer: No

Where does this ship from?

Answer: China

Can you spool 50 lb braid

Answer: you can spool pretty much any lb line on there. the thing is the higher the test line the less line you get. but if you're using 50lb braid on here I dunno if the drag system is made to fish the type of fish that you'd use 50lb test on.

Answer: You can,but I wouldn't use anything over 30 lb. braid on it.

Answer: Yes I just caught a 24 inch snakehead with this reel and I use 65 lb power pro braid .

Answer: Yes

Does your handle have some “play”? My reels handle does not seem like it is a tight fit.

Answer: I haven't experienced any "play" at all in my handle.

Is this reel Braid Ready?

Answer: I spooled mine with 30 lb. braid right out of the box with no troubles.

Answer: Yes. I loaded mine up with Seagar braid.

Does it come with instructions how to change the spool?

Answer: It’s been so long since I ordered this that I truthfully cannot remember, however, Seaknighr is an outstanding company that is very customer friendly. If you email them or find them on Facebook or Instagram I assure you that they will respond quickly, with an answer to your question. This reel is still one of my all time favorites and I promise you you will not regret purchasing it. Since purchasing this reel I have directed most all of my fishing gear need to sea knight due to there extremely durable and nice looking products! Good luck! And once again, I highly recommend you purchasing this reel.

Answer: Yes,it comes with complete illustrated instructions in English.

Answer: Yes

It's called the "Sea"Knight, can I assume it'll hold up pretty well for flounder in saltwater?

Answer: SeaKnight Falcon baitcasting fishing reel can be used in freshwater, not a saltwater reel.

Answer: I don't know. I use

Answer: Yes

This is practically the same reel as the fishband gh150, with that said, where is the gh100 version with the shallow spool?

Answer:

Answer: Currently Seaknight does not make a shallow spool due to lack of demand, should the demand increase, we will look into producing one,.......

Product reviews of SeaKnight FALCAN2 Baitcasting Reel,7.2:1/8.1:1 Gear Ratio High Speed Smooth Baitcast Fishing Reel,17.6 Lb Carbon Fiber Drag Baitcasters, 10+1 Shielded Bearings Low Profile Reel

Erick Sosa : A+

Great deal, great product!

austin Milton : Does it’s job ????????

Great reel, especially for the price! I had been anticipating is arrival and once it came in I got it spooled up and took it out see how it performed. I have 0 issues with it myself and it casted well, and retrieved just as good... after about an hour and a bait change, I finally got a birds nest but that was my own fault for not setting it up properly for the new lure tied on.
Over all definitely something I would recommend to a friend ????????

Amazon Customer : Womp Womp...

I mean....you get what you pay for.

Dwayne Ferrington : Top quality and at a unbeatable price!! Thanks

Amazing this reel is build solid, casts superb and with the anti backlash design it’s great for beginners all the way to seasoned pros!!! I will be changing out my reels.

Jerome e Wiiams sr : Excellent this thing rocks thanks

This thing is put together perfect

Amazon Customer : Womp Womp...

I mean....you get what you pay for.

Antolena Taylor : Very good reel

This is an amazing reel for the price! Oil the reel before you use it mine was making weird noises until I oiled it.

Jesus Lopez : Very smooth and highly recommend it.

Was super impressed with how smooth this reel casts. Went a full day with no birds nest. The braking system help control those long casts. Caught 4 fish and 2 of those were 3 pounders. The reel handled them real well. I would highly recommend this reel to any new or experienced angler.

Robin L. : SeaKnight Baitcasting Reel

Very nice! Been using for the last couple of days and been having a blast! I Live in Florida, so it’s nice to be able to pitch in some hard to get thick spots and not have issues with backlash and other issues. ????????

Gheezy : A company that cares about fisherman.

This is my second Seaknight reel and I am impressed by the quality, performance, and feel of the Falcon. The company's customer service is wonderful and responsive. I have used the Seaknight Dryad for over a year now with no issues. I went with the 8.1:1 ratio for speed and it does not disappoint. If you have any issues, contact the company first. They will take care of you.

Antolena Taylor : Very good reel

This is an amazing reel for the price! Oil the reel before you use it mine was making weird noises until I oiled it.

Jesus Lopez : Very smooth and highly recommend it.

Nt Xiong : Needs improvement

It’s smooth at first but took it out the whole day to fish and it broke, lines were getting snagged and nested. Product is not durable.

Shaun Carroll : Great reel for the money

Got this reel based on the reviews and very glad I did. I have been fishing it for a few months now and recently paired it with a Lew's rod I picked up at Wal-Mart (Fishing on a budget). I have been very happy with the results and have thrown both braid and fluoro on it and it casts great with both.

The ratio is fast enough for me to get the bass in and I have gotten the brakes dialed in to have little to no backlash the past few times I have signed with it. I am very happy with this reel and use it often when fishing ponds near my home.

Crystal : Great value for what get I am a happy customer.

You talking about a good reel this is it guys , easily adjusted, sturdy built , it' not Shimano but for the price and the build of this reel you can’t go wrong.

david : Best bang for your buck

Excellent reel you can’t beat the quality for the price, I’ve been throughly impressed so far

meldan : Tough, reliable and smooth

Tough, reliable and very natural to use. Caught a 7lb striper my fist time out with it. A joy to use and get familiar with fast. Going to be a regular in my rotation

Dakota Addair : Couldn't be happier!

I got a chance to test my reel right after I received it this morning. The gearing on this reel is extremely smooth. The retrieval is fast and casts very smoothly without any hesitation. It is also very sleek looking and fits on the pole and in your hands nicely all for an extremely fair price. Couldn't be happier with this product and am looking forward to Future purchases with this company.

walt : poor quality control

haven't really used them yet , but out of the box one the drag wheel hits the handle and you can't turn it. Don't really think its right to have problems before getting the line loaded. Finally went fishing , after bending the handle so the drag could be used the reel still has problems. Return window closed before I went fishing . Ordered 2 reels , one works just fine the other is a lemon.

R. Payne : Great reel

I ended up purchasing two of these reels one in the 8.1 and one 7.2. As smooth as my Lews just doesn't cast quite as far. Definitely worth the money.

esbm308 : Very Smooth Reel

I bought this reel for bait finesse system fishing using the large diameter spool , I miss read the description thinking it has both magnetic and mechanical braking system so you can really fine tune the reel to throw very light jigs , well all it has is magnetic . It took a while but was able to throw 1/8 jig with out backlashing not as far as I hope but
as I use it maybe it will free up and do better. Other that that its very smooth plenty of drag works great. Landed a nice 4 lb plus spotted bass with no complaints .It's not a $250 Daiwa but still a good real .

ATAK140Jim : Falcon

Smooth, fast reel. I am enjoying it immensely.

joe walters : Spool blew up on 1st fish

I fish a lot of events and figured I would try this since it had so many good reviews. The 1st fish I caught this was a 3 1/2lb largemouth and it broke the spoil to where it would just free spin and would not reel. The reel was smooth until the 1st fish lol then it blew apart . I had high expectations but this did not meet them. I will just keep using my daiwa tatulas :-)

mark carman : Great all around baitcaster, PERFECT price.

This is my first attempt at buying a bait caster. I have been fishing for many of years and never tried this type of reel. I had a friend refer me to the SeaKnight brand specially the Falcon reel . After getting a small example on the best technique from my friend, I absolutely love it. It dials in incredibly easy and casts like a dream. I probably made 200 casts with it and it only nested once, that was because I threw near my friends line. I’ve reviewed a couple other reels lately and have decided to continue using SeaKnight products. They just work and I couldn't beat the price. It's great to add a different type of reel to go after the big ones. I had great success the first day I used it, I'd like to say it's the reel. Haha. My next attempt will be a fly reel. Tight lines folks. SeaKnight Falcon is legit.

Brian S. : Great Quality!!

This is a great reel, very light, smooth and casts a country mile!! Didn’t backlash, had settings tight since it’s my first baitcaster and I’ll fine tune it as I get use to it but as of now, Love it!!

Jesus Lopez : Very smooth and highly recommend it.

Fue Khang : Almost perfect

Very nice reel but then there are a few thing I think can be fix to make this the perfect affordable reel. There is a small gap on bottom of the shaft where a small washer is located that make the handle move just little which I'm not a fan of though it doesnt affect the performance and than the front design of the reel which I think can be redesign to make it dip down ward so it'll be more compact but over all the reel is really smooth just like my shimano and nice drag click with a light spool would recommend for beginner and tournament angler.

Amy P Smith : Falcon rocks

Fantastic set up. Smooth/effortless retrieve. I used the seaknight line and that made for a perfect combination. Couldn't be happier. Works better than my Cortez. Thank you again!

esbm308 : Very Smooth Reel

Amazon Customer : Womp Womp...

I mean....you get what you pay for.

E.O. Schwartzenberger : Best Baitcaster yet!

I absolutely love it. I though my Runcle baitcaster was my best reel, I was so wrong. The Falcon 2 is smooth, I can throw my line incredibly far. Reels quickly, you don't even realize your done. I haven't caught anything with it yet, but I'll update my review as soon as I do.

Amazon Customer : Womp Womp...

I mean....you get what you pay for.

meldan : Tough, reliable and smooth

Tough, reliable and very natural to use. Caught a 7lb striper my fist time out with it. A joy to use and get familiar with fast. Going to be a regular in my rotation

heath : Comparable to Shimano Curado and Shimano Chronarch

I ordered this reel on a Wednesday night, it was in my mailbox Thursday afternoon. Immediately out of the box it was light, and tight, meaning it didn't rattle. I own both a Shimano Curado, and a Shimano Chronarch. This reel easily competes with them for only a fraction of the price. Smooth castability! I can cast this reel well over 100 feet. The retrieve is smooth as well. Also, I had it dialed in by the tenth cast. It's not easy to backlash, but it is possible until you make your adjustments. Only suggestion I have is, when you unbox it, go ahead and apply extra reel grease. You'll need it. Overall, incredible quality for an awesome price. Highly recommend.

Ricardo Madrigal : great baitcasting reel

Amazing reel! Smooth and worth the price. I'm looking forward to more falcon baitcasting reels! Overall , you won't be disappointed i highly recommend this reel.

Shaun Carroll : Great reel for the money

Janeen Goree : Diamond in the rough

Extremely fast shipping. This reel is a powerhouse! I have some really expensive reels and to be honest this reel out pro forms them or is neck to neck with them. Definitely enough to fight the HOGS (big bass).

adam swanson : Highly recommended for the value, super easy to use and smooth!

So I'm a very honest reviewer, yet don't know much about modern baitcasters but so far this is a great value for the $41 it was. Didn't want to spend much and because I'm relearning baitcasting I figured why not, and I could see this as a great beginner reel, yet good looking and sleek. Honestly after this I can't wait to see what pricier reels feel like!
I mainly got this for long casting ability from a lakefront harbor and portable fishing with a buddy and after 3 trips I definitely can hurl any lure a mile with this thing. The adjusting of the tension and brakes is easy, although I recommend studying up on you tube as well, and I've only bird nested maybe 1/15 casts... As a beginner.. Or relearner. I feel that's pretty damn good. I mean I guess I never really learned the first time, but now that I am, I can definitely highly recommend this reel for the price. I paired it with the Kastking Compass telescopic rod and I freaking love the whole setup. Haven't caught anything yet but I know it's coming soon.

Antolena Taylor : Very good reel

This is an amazing reel for the price! Oil the reel before you use it mine was making weird noises until I oiled it.

Kane Chanthavog : Very impressive

I can say.... got it yesterday and test it out at night....very impress with the smooth retrieving and drag handle...pull this striper in like nothing....recommended to anyone

Rolando B. Fauni : Very good brake system and fast retrieve

I'm not a novice nor an expert in freshwater bait casting but this one is better compared to the RUNCL which I returned. When I bought my initial RUNCL reel, I almost gave up baitcasting because of the dreaded backlashes. No matter how I tweaked the tension and brake, I always get backlashes using .25 oz lure weight, 17-lb test braided line, a ML action rod tip, and about 20-22 yds. tossing distance. After using this, I never got a backlash using whatever setup. The 10-magnetic bean brake helps a lot avoiding backlashes. And the speed at 8:1 ratio is a top notcher. I haven't seen any other brand at this speed and price. And with the extra spool, I use a heavier 32-lb test on a MH rod with a 1/2 oz lure. If I use a medium tip, I would hook a 1/3 oz. lure to a 23-lb. test line. For the braking system, I would set it at 2.5 for the ML action, 3.0 for the medium, and 3.5 for the MH. And the thumb rest is a perfect height close to the lock. I hope it will last with proper care of Blakemore reel/line magic aerosol. Highly recommended. I live in Nevada so I don't worry about using it in saltwater.
