Q:

IF i buy this it does not give me the option for reel size to select. So what what size reel will i get in the mail?

Answer: Something is not right , it should let you select a reel size ... it comes in 3 or 4 sizes

Q:

What happened to the 3000 model? It's not listed anymore and yesterday it was

Answer: Not Sure. I have a 4000

Q:

What is the warranty? If it can stand up to what I would put it through, it is a serious reel!

Answer: The reel is to small for big fish

Answer: 1 Year parts and warranty

Q:

What is the best line weight for the 3000 and 4000?

Answer: I use 6 to 12 pounds on the 3000 model.

Answer: Probably anything from 10-30 pound line

Answer: I ran 12 pound p line on mine but I wouldn’t recommend going too much higher than that

Q:

Is this a good fishing reel?

Answer: This is a nice reel,fine for lakes and rivers.

Q:

Can it be used braided and monofilament lines?

Answer: I used braided line with a mono leader and had no problems

Answer: I have used it with braid and mono and it works pretty well. No issues with any line that I have tried.

Answer: Yes can be used with braid or mono.

Answer: Yes

Q:

I snag for spoonbill using a12 foot rod 65 pound braid will the 4000 handle this

Answer: I bought the 2000 to use crappie fishing and it’s perfect but looking at the specs the 4000 is rated for 12 lb test so I would think that it would be to small!

Answer: Sorry I can not help, I have the 2000 reel not the 4000. But, the quality is great on the one I have,

Answer: i dont know? Power is not a problem for these reels in my opinion. I do have concerns about the size of the drag washers and the surface area of them. However, for the price, i suspect you wont find a beefier reel. Especially with the old school, a little slower gear ratio. But i dont know the limits? It feels heavier and definatley has more metal in it than many of the china made reels double the plusinno price range. If the drag is ever an issue im sure a teflon based dry lube will smooth the drag oout.

Q:

Can you switch the reel to a left hand or a right hand ?

Answer: It can be either one you want.

Q:

What is the braid capacity?

Answer: sorry your 1/2 wrong, on american made braid 40# braid is 10#mono, on foreign or Japanese braid the braid is 12# mono.

Answer: Depends on the test, they have different diameters you know. Mono to braid or superline conversion info can be found all over the internet but I’ll do the work for you...12lb mono is same diameter as 40lb braid

Q:

Would this reel be good for bass fishing?

Answer: Yes,and the 300 & 4000 would be good choices.

Q:

Can I use this reel for deep sea fishing?

Answer: I’d get the 4000 model for bigger game fish

Answer: Yes, sure. you could try.

Q:

What's the weight of the 3000?

Answer: The 3000 is 8.9oz.

Q:

What if any of the components on the 2000 series are plastic?

Answer: Good question. I haven’t looked it over that closely! I rarely use it because the bail on it is huge and the way I hold the pole it hits me in the knuckles! It’s actually a pretty good reel and smooth however minus the bail size!

Answer: The reel is all metal and well made.

Q:

Do you have the PL5000 available for sale? What is the line capacity?

Answer: 6lb=310/ 8=235/ an excellent light tackle spinning rod.........I assume Amazon still has them for sale

Answer: No I have the 3000.

Q:

Are the bearings sealed? And does it have a sealed drag system?

Answer: Yes they are both enclosed however, unlike a fully enclosed real the bottom section where the spool is has holes to lighten the reel. This exposes the center rod/bolt, which isn’t a big deal.

Q:

How fast are the gears?

Q:

Does the bail automatically close when you start to real in line?

Answer: Yes, but I prefer to push it closed as it’s less wear on the reel.

Answer: Yes it dose.

Answer: Yes!

Q:

How much line Can I spool on 2000 series, 10lb braided? Thank you

Answer: I have the PL 2000 which takes 6lb =370 and 8lb=235. The capacities are listed for the reels on Amazon, when you click on the item

Q:

What size is this reel? I need a 4000.

Answer:

Answer: The Plusinno reel I have is a 3000. But it is a great reel

Q:

Can this reel be used for a 12 foot fishingpole

Answer: I have used it on an 8 foot pole, the sea poles I have that are 10 feet seem to hold it just fine enough for some use. But I have the smaller size, the largest size should fit very well with a 12 foot pole.

Answer: Yes, I used it in a 7 ft, and the reel is caind of big for it, naw I habe it in a 10 ft pool.

Answer: I wouldn't see why it couldn't, as long as the reel base fits and locks down it should be good

Answer: Definitely!!!

Q:

Best size for small pond smallmouth bass?

Answer: For small pond fishing I would use the 2000, I use it for everything and it works amazing. I’ve brought in everything from small pond fish to 24” trout and the reel is perfect. I have yet to find any beach or small boat freshwater fishing (in Nevada) that this reel can’t handle.

Answer: It Really Depends on the Size of Fish in your Bodies of Water. But in Most Cases, Fishing a Small Pond I Would go with the 2000/3000.

Answer: A lot of fish of different sizes can be in a "Small Pond". It is unlikely that a Small Mouth will be in a small pond but, I would say that either of the three reels would suffice. For myself, all around fishing I prefer the 8 lb line size. It is imperative that you get to know your reel.....the drag set and what rod to match it with. I would suggest something like the Entsport E series with two tips, a med light and a med.

Answer: It will work just fine

Q:

What is the difference among 2000, 3000 and 4000?

Answer: The size of the fishing reel. Look up for info as for which reel you are looking for.

Q:

Does this reel actually have carbon fiber drag washers or are they felt?

Answer: Not sure??? It’s just really smoother in its casting!!!

Q:

It this reel good for some spotty bay bass inshore fishing

Answer: Freshwater fishing only.

Answer: It's a good real I don't know how it will do in the salt.

Q:

What material is the handle made of?

Answer: The main part of the handle is made of metal and and knob is made of high density EVA.

Q:

Is the 3000 model available? The 2000 model is described and I find no option to select and purchase the 3000 or 4000 models.

Answer: I believe this is a question for the seller

Q:

What reel is recommended for the plusinno elite hunter 7ft-spinning rod-m power-ms（golden）?

Answer: The 400

Q:

What size is best for kayak fishing?

Answer: 2000 is ultra light 3000 is for regular fresh water and 4000 could be used for bigger game fish like carp cat fish or salt water

Answer: I think it all depends on what you are fishing for.

Q:

can these reels be lightly sprayed with fresh water to rinse salt water off of them

Answer: I have never fished saltwater. But I would say yes since I just fish fresh water lakes.

Q:

Can it handle steelhead?

Answer: Depends, the max drag is 17.5 lbs on the 4000. If you’re hooking a 12 pounder it would put a pretty hard strain on the drag if you’re reeling into current with a strong fish like that I would think. Kinda like asking if it’ll handle bass. What kind, what size, what water? I think this reel will live up to its specs but I haven’t hooked anything big enough to really test it yet.

Answer: I am sure the drag stopping power of 17.5 lbs will be plenty if the Steelhead is fought properly with the correct pound test line. Wishing you a very happy holiday.

Answer: If you are satisfied with max drag of the reel for that type of fish, then it will. If not, get bigger reel. We don’t have steelheads here, but in my opinion, if you are after some monsters, you will be pushing this reel...

Answer: Sure, the 3000 is plenty just have your drag set properly of course.

Answer: I don't have those here but I would say yes. It is a pretty good reel. Deffinitly give it a run! Good luck fishing!

Q:

Is this reel good for saltwater ?

Answer: Yes,It can be used for freshwater or saltwater.

Q:

Is it good to use in saltwater? And where it’s made?

Answer: This reel was made in China and is also usable in saltwater. Stay safe and tight lines!!!

Answer: Im pretty sure it is made in China and is capable of use in saltwater.

TB : You get what you pay for,.

I use this reel for saltwater shore fishing. Bought it early 2020 probably seen water half a dozen times. Began to lock up (imagine as if the grease has dried up). Still turn but it's sticky.
My dad and I have two Abu Garcia blackmax that are three-four years old. They've been used and abused and are still kicking butt (fish'es, of course). Those cost about $50 a piece.
My recommendation is dont go cheap with these. Spend a little extra (under $60, youll find plenty) and buy ones that are well known.

Amazon Customer : Clicking noise

Great reel other than the fact that it now makes a clack every time I reel in, it was quiet at first?

Stephen Mark : Worth every penny

Bought 3 of these for a fishing trip with my brother(in photo) and my dad...
Caught 40 fish 20lbs plus.... dropped them in the creek several times...they performed amazing for the cost...????????

Goose : So Far So good

I have two of the 3000. One spooled with 8 pd mono, the other 20 pd braid. So far, theses reels have performed flawlessly. They are very smooth and cast very well. I have them pair with a 7 ft medium Shakespeare rod from Walmart. I’ve had no issues.
I was a little leery to buy the first one. You know, the old, you get what you pay for thing. But after the first one worked so well, I bought another.
Right now, I feel you’re getting a good bang for your buck.
At the cost, if they last the summer, I would be happy.
For the price, it’s worth purchase.

Chet : Surprised by the performance.

Ok orginally purchased 2 of these reels as spares for when guests visit here in Florida. If they loose it or drop it in the water not that big a deal. I mostly have Penn reels as my primary gear. Usually fish a couple of times a week. I have been using it in saltwater inshore for about 6 months a few of times a month. So far it is holding up surprisingly well. I've had some 20 lb sharks put it to the test. But it also has done a great job with Seatrout and Snapper. Rinse it down after each use and so far its performed as well as my expensive Penn reels. Can't say a bad thing about it and we'll see if it continues to surprise me. Not bad as a backup reel or for the occasional fisherman. Just keep it clean.

Donna R. : Amazing reel

I ordered this reel several months ago and it has held up well so far. I love going trout fishing and this is the perfect size for my stile of fishing. performs like a stradic at a fraction of the price.

Stanley Orchard : I Am Impressed!

I picked up this real because I needed an inexpensive replacement for a real small, everyday lightweight outfit. What I got was something I was not expecting. This reel is quality, especially for the price. At the local Academy or Walmart I would get a Zebco or low-end Shakespeare at this price and what I got was something a lot closer to a cheap Penn or Abu Garcia. The housing is solid, good action and a stout bail for the price. I was going to open it up to do a comparison of the internals versus a Penn but after getting it I decided against it. Didn't want to screw the thing up!
I will say that the screws are likely going to rust and it will require more care than a more expensive reel to keep it running, otherwise for the class that I got this thing is solid and I am very pleased with the purchase. I would recommend this product and I would repurchase again if I needed another similar class reel.

Michael Rosner : Great engineering specs , great price

I purchased the PL3000 PLUSINNO Fishing Reel, 9 +1BB Spinning Reel, Ultra Smooth Powerful, Lightweight Graphite Frame, CNC Aluminum Spool for Freshwater

This is a high quality reel for the price. Smooth and quiet while operating, the one click button foldable ambidextrous handle is convenient for quick breakdowns and assembly. The center ribs on the spool is great for braided line which I prefer to use. The weight of the reel isnt as heavy as you would think it would be for the size of the reel, it’s a modest weight for the size and action of the reel. The engineering quality and price of the reel is great. There is no free floating slack in the line when you close the bail which is a nice feature considering the price of this product you would not expect that. This is a sturdy well engineered product and the price is great. I look forward to trying out other Plusinno Gear such as there telescopic rod and other reels.

Donna R. : Amazing reel

I ordered this reel several months ago and it has held up well so far. I love going trout fishing and this is the perfect size for my stile of fishing. performs like a stradic at a fraction of the price.

Nic Avery : Extremely Pleased

Bought this reel with a matching Plusinno rod for surf fishing on Dauphin Island. It performed flawlessly! And is still doing great! This reel has had sand caked on it, been submerged in salt water, and still smooth as silk. A quick rinse off with water and the sand had no affect on it! I would compare this reel to one of my much more costly ones, but there’s really no comparison, my freshwater rigs won’t handle salt or sand... If you’re looking for a great reel at an amazing price, look no further.

Josimar Castillo : Caja muy grande aumenta el costo del pedido

El carrete es ligero y se siente bastante bien, lo malo el envío lo hacen dentro de una caja super grande y al llegar a mi país me cobran por el volumen de la caja y sale mucho mas costoso el envío. Estoy esperando una caña de ellos, pero me arrepentido porque se que costará mucho al llegar a Panamá.

Amazon Customer : Well Built For The Money

For The Money It's a Really Nice Reel. I Fish Mostly Pan Fish, and Whatever Will Sometimes Bite. Being that I Travel, and sometimes Carry a Rod/Reel, the Fold Down Handle Makes for Easy Transport. I Would Definitely Recommend this Reel.

SlowHand : great reel at a great price = value!

I like this reel so much that I bought 2. very smother action, quality construction and well thought out features. I've been using it since the start of the season and love it.

I've bought other, name brand reels for 2-3 times the price and didn't get near the quality. Maybe $100 gets a better fish catcher... but I don't think so.

ronin : Excellent value reel

For the (low) price, you get a sturdy, solid-performing reel that so far has worked quite well. Casts smoothly, retrieves even smoother. The 4.9:1 gear ratio is a bit lower than what I usually see but works just fine for fall fishing where the fish are more lethargic so we want the slower retrieve anyway to maximize time in the strike zone. The braid-ready spool works well and I currently have mine loaded w/50lbs fluoro-braid to use w/spinner & chatter baits w/soft plastic trailers. I love the push-button collapsible handle and wish more reels would have the same feature as I hate the standard way of loosening the entire handle to collapse/extend it. It does make the handle stick out a bit more though so if the next iteration can make the button shorter that'd be great. The drag dial works as expected and feels about right for reels of this price range. So overall it's a pretty good deal for a large, solid reel that should last for quite some time.

Brandon J : Amazing price

Skeptical at first but after catching a couple monsters on it , it is absolutely amazing .

Amazon Customer : Great reals but

I have durability a 3 or 4 star because of the design. You can fold in the handle which I guess is a good idea for some but it takes away from the quality and sturdiness of the handle. It seems loose. I still use two of them because they are great reels. I with they would have redesigned the handle

James : Great Reel

This reel was a gift for my father and it has held up really well. He has had it about 4 months now and I like it a lot more than the reel I have on my own rod. It's very smooth and has a lightweight to it. This would be a good reel for anyone beginner to intermediate.

Big-D : Good value , awesome reel well balanced good materials

Awesome reel , lightweight design, feels and looks good, stable reel
motion and well balanced, great for price perfect gift for any fisherman
Love their products

James L. : Great reel for money

Man for the money not sure how you can beat this reel. Bought 2 for my young boys and they are pretty good reels. Not sure if this isn’t what I should use and throw it away when something doesn’t work on it and get another.

Dennis L. : The last reel you will ever need, worth every dollar!

This reel is worth every dollar. I surf fish four to five days a week. This reel is in multiple videos on my YouTube channel and will appear in many more. Light weight, smooth, & excellent saltwater durability. Everyone of my seven remaing surf and jetty rods will have this 4000 on it.! A home run Plusinno keep putting out reels because you have done a great job!

Rockrunner : Great little reel

Pleasantly surprised, the reel is very smooth retrieving and casting. Only dislike is that it holds a ton of line on the spool. I personally prefer ~100 yards of line on my spinning rod reels. I change out my line for fresh more often and don't like wasting line or using backing material. Besides that it's a very good reel and value for the money.

Ishbu Shigugua : FALSE MARKETING - THIS IS A 3+1 BEARING REEL

THIS IS NOT A 9+1 BEARING REEL.
PLUSINNO PL3000 HAS THREE BALL BEARINGS and ONE ANTI-REVERSE BEARING.
Despite what the schematic shows, Ball Bearings Part#6, Part#7,Part#73 and Part#75 DO NOT EXIST, and Part #18 and Part#19 ARE NOT BALL BEARINGS.

Pros:
-Very Inexpensive reel
-Relatively smooth reeling
-Drag is pretty smooth
-Solid frame

CONS:
-FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ON BEARING COUNT
-Schematic shows bearings that do not exist
-Reel makes scratching friction sound when reeling and has quite a bit of wobble(though is tolerable).
-Line lay with 15lb braid is biased toward center causing line to fall over itself at the top and bottom. I can see this being an issue when casting, but time will tell. (UPDATE - As expected, this reel cast knot after knot, and chewed through roughly 100yds of 15lb braid in under 20 casts. EVERY, SINGLE, CAST it would loop itself and knot out)
-The drag was poorly lubricated with some very sticky grease which I can see becoming problematic in a very short time.
-The handle doesn't sit straight despite actuating the fold button a few times to try and remedy the issue.
-Folding handle is a gimmick as it actually takes up more space as compared to handles that require you to loosen the screw prior to folding.

Overall disappointed in the purchase and would have spent a few $$ more had I known this reel would be missing parts it advertises so prominently...

KERRY SHOUDY : Great reel for the price.

Very smooth casting and reeling. Light weight. I've spent more money on reels that don't perform as well as this one does. Will definitely be purchasing more of their rods and reels.

Scott : garbage

the main barrings are open barrings and locked up the second day I had it, not a saltwater reel. The only way it would last is if you don't use it.

Mick : small drag washers - revise after extended use

2) revised after extended use:
I feel obligated to revise my initial assessment after 3 weeks of use. I originally gave this reel a 2 star. I feel much better about it after using it. For the cost I dont know if you will find a better reel until you pay 4 fold or more. Ive used them for 3 week in the back waters of intercoastal, and they seem very well suited. I had a nice Jack on, and the drag was great (I did spray all the washers with dry teflon before use)! They are still a little slow at 5:1 ratio, and it matters sometimes, and a little heavy. However, the value is here. These things are built like a tank. Solid as can be. I now own 16 of them between 3000 and 4000 size for my charter fleet, and not one problem with any of them. Our team got into amberjack with ametuers one day, and they performed very well. They were really tested! Pretty hard to beat them for the cost I think.

1) Just recieved my new 4000's. This reel isnt as light as the high end reels, but a fraction of the cost so somewhat expected. The weight was posted online before i purchased. I knew what i was getting into. Its also not nearly as smooth as i would expect with a supposedely 9 ball bearings, but im hoping they packed them dry.
The drag washers appear very small to me, less surface area, less control i presume. the drag washers are about the size of a dime, but the center pin is drilled, so less surface area then a dime, on a 4000 reel. Im skeptical they will be suitable for amberjack in the gulf, or salmon on the great lakes. I would expect a 4000 sized reel to be able to smoothly handle jacks, or salmon. I will have to use in the salt to see if this truly is a saltwater reel. This reel isnt nearly attactive to me as the photos on the ads. The sides have a cheap looking chrome plastic, instead of the all flat black, i thought i was getting. However asthetics and performance are different issues, and i have not put this small drag to the test yet.

Dale Rafferty : 2000 PLUSINNO Fishing Reel 9 +1BB Spinning Reel

returned after 1 trip. Great lookin reel. Only complaint is while retrieving the line very slowly for crappie fishing, it had tight spots. Either the main shaft was slightly bent, or a bad ball bearing. under normal retrieve speed it wasn't noticeable. 21. bucks can't believe the quality, looks and feel can be had for that amount.

toujon : Bad casting

I bought the 3000 version and used it for a summer. It sure looks nice and seems to be build to last, but it does not cast far. I have tried on multiple quality rods and different lines (8/12/20 lb mono, 15/30/50 lb braided). The result is more or less the same. I tried same settings with similar spinning reels (even cheaper). They all cast further. I think the issue is the line rubbing against the top of the reel. It is especially bad when the spool is not full. I am seriously disappointed by this product and I would not recommend it.

Peter DeQuarto : Extremely Smooth to Cast

I had recently ordered a rod off of wish.com that I *thought* was coming with a reel, but of course I missed the fine print and the reel was not included.

SO, I hop on Amazon and found this PLUSINNO reel at a reasonable price. I had no difficulty at all spooling it with line I had at the house, and once I finally got the opportunity to take it fishing it cast with no issues. It was very smooth coming off the cast, and was able to reel it in quickly when needed too! All around solid reel, with the drag performing flawlessly as well. Also has a handy little button to collapse the reel handle inward so to take up less space.

Very pleased with this purchase.

Donkey Khong : Affordable, functional, no frills reel

I'm not a fishing beginner, nor am I a pro angler. I just like to get out and fish when I can. No boat, no saltwater; bank only. This affordable reel lets you get your lure in the water and pulls out a fish if you hook one. Simple, smooth casting. Landed a 1 lb Yellow Perch and a 2 lb bass during my first time out with it. 8 lb mono, in-line spinner on the 3000 model. I just ordered a 2000 and 4000 model just to have, as they're on sale right now. Was skeptical about this brand at first, but it gets the job done.

Brian Laird : Do not buy. NOT made for saltwater.

Bought in May 2020. Use it for inshore fishing about every other weekend, rinsing with fresh water after use (not a direct spray). Never submerged or heavy splashes of salt water. After TWO trips could feel and hear resistance. Had to break down reel. Ton of rust in bearings/shaft. Tried to clean it up, oil it, and grease too if bearings to try and keep water out. Only gave it a few more months of use before same thing. Junked it and bought a Penn Pursuit III.

Danny Barnhill : Great value

This is actually the second of these reels that I have purchased. They both have been to replace old, broken reels. I was looking for an inexpensive option that would last the season. I’m on my second season with the first reel and it has performed flawlessly. It is lighter in weight than the reels I replaced so I can use much longer without getting arm fatigue. I wade rivers and fish from a kayak and this reel has proven to be very durable for what I put it through. All in all, I believe this to be the best value for the money and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Dave Donahue : Great little reel

This is a good quality reel, casts well and winds good. I use it for smaller fish and a smaller pole. Good for bream, crappie, shellcracker fishing. Highly recommend.

Joseph Bailey : Exceeded my expectations

I ordered this reel to replace one that was much more expensive 3x more.. So I ordered it with tempered expectations.. hoping it would get me through a planned trip after that it didn't matter.. This reel surprised me with it's smoothness, cast ability, and overall performance..I fish hard anf this reel took it all in stride. I have fished it with both braid and mono it handled both beautifully.. when I put together a fishing combo I tend to spend the money on the reel moreso than the rod.. My next spinning combo this will be the reel..

Stephen Mark : Worth every penny

Bought 3 of these for a fishing trip with my brother(in photo) and my dad...
Caught 40 fish 20lbs plus.... dropped them in the creek several times...they performed amazing for the cost...????????

John Zhou : Quality low cost

Amazing reel for the money. No need to spend hundreds of dollar when this will do just fine. I've been fishing for 30+ years. I've been wasting money on expensive reels. This was a shocker at $20. Couldn't believe how good it is for very little money. Maybe they're purposely selling low to gain market entry. Whatever it is I'm very happy with the purchase.

Okbassplayerguy : Great Deal!!!

I've only used it once, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. Seems really nice, especially for the money.

Jeff Sell : Tough reel

Smooth and solid reel. My son dropped this reel in the water with the bail open. The reel was submerged for a few minutes while we pulled all the line into the boat. I was a little upset and thought for sure the reel was done. I let it dry out for a few days and to our surprise it is as good as new. Ordered another one today.

Jeremy : There is value, there is not disappointment.

I bought the PL 2000 so this review will be based on it.
I bought this reel to pair up with a pricey 7ft 30 ton medium fast spinning rod I had purchased earlier this year.
It's a good looking reel, smooth dull graphite black in color, with cutouts in the spool to save weight and gold trim give it a really cool Steampunk look.
It fits almost perfectly on the roof seat, and feels very stable.
I love the oversized crank handle knob and the quick release collapsible handle, saves space when stored.
While the reel is very smooth on the retrieve, 9 bearings will do that, they also ensure
the reel will virtually never wear out. The plus one bearing is a "one-way" bearing meaning that while retreaving lures or when strikes happen the crank handle stops instantly, there it's no slack, the hook is set harder, there is no sloppy feel that reels without the "Plus one" one-way bearing have.
At $20 US. It's a lot of thought, engineering, craftsmanship, value and smooth all sealed into this fishing reel.
I would buy this again, I would tell a friend.

Zidane Cloud : Awsome buy will be buying anouther

Verry nice looking reel i just put on 100 yards of berkley 30lb test triline biggame with a home made 60lb double hook set up with a 3 oz weight i took it oustside and gave it a test cast i damb near threw over a hundred yards cant wait till i use it tamarow night i will give it updated review i bought the pl4000 model.

outdoorenthusiast : SOLID VALUE!!

Very nice quality for the price. I've fished multiple times with this reel now and can confidently recommend it. I've caught several bass in the 1.5lb to 3lb range without problems and caught a few inshore species such as redfish, speckled trout, and white trout. So far, this is a winner!

GP : Smooth, why are you reading further, click 'Buy Now"

I'm ashamed of the amount of $ I have spent with Amazon on fishing this year. It is quite addictive. That said I have not been impressed more with any brand than the Plussinno. I put this on a Kalex XT1 4 PC rod and it casts and retrieves like a dream. I'm pitting this one in a contest today with a similar rod with a broadcaster with braid to see how it compares with this spinner with 6 lb. Monofilament. Bobbers, Egg Sinker, #1 hook all the same. Both rigs will see a slip bobber with no top knot, a loop knot 18" up with the snelled hook, followed by a adjustable slip Egg sinker below, followed by a snap swivel the end the rig on the end, secures to the rod, grin. See next report.

Michael Rosner : Great engineering specs , great price

I purchased the PL3000 PLUSINNO Fishing Reel, 9 +1BB Spinning Reel, Ultra Smooth Powerful, Lightweight Graphite Frame, CNC Aluminum Spool for Freshwater

This is a high quality reel for the price. Smooth and quiet while operating, the one click button foldable ambidextrous handle is convenient for quick breakdowns and assembly. The center ribs on the spool is great for braided line which I prefer to use. The weight of the reel isnt as heavy as you would think it would be for the size of the reel, it’s a modest weight for the size and action of the reel. The engineering quality and price of the reel is great. There is no free floating slack in the line when you close the bail which is a nice feature considering the price of this product you would not expect that. This is a sturdy well engineered product and the price is great. I look forward to trying out other Plusinno Gear such as there telescopic rod and other reels.

Dean Z : Excellent reel

The reel is an amazing value. For the money I did not expect it to be so smooth. I have it on a telescopic rod with a 12 lb line because I am taking it with me on my next trip to Florida to try it out there. I have put my normal setup away because I am done fishing here in Michigan for the season. This is otherwise not a setup I would recommend for this reel due to its size but I like the reel so much I want to try it in Florida.
I have pictures of it next to my other travel setup to show the size of the reel.
The other reel on the picture is a Pflueger 25 which is much better for travel because it is smaller and much lighter. The Plusinno however to me is smoother and I really like the push button fold for the handle.
I took the reel out only once before it snowed here in Michigan but I was very impressed with the performance given the price point.
I would buy this again and definitely recommend it for anyone that is looking for a very solid reel.

Bassin Mass : Surprisingly good!

I have been very impressed by this reel! When I first ordered it I thought it would be plastic and cheap like the other $20 reels I have reviewed, but it feels very solid. The groves on the bail make it easy to put on line and the sleek design will make your spinning combo look fresh! I took the reel out fishing today and it performed very well! The reel was very smooth and I had no problems using the drag. You are also able to switch the handle if you need to which is always nice.

Nic Avery : Extremely Pleased

Bought this reel with a matching Plusinno rod for surf fishing on Dauphin Island. It performed flawlessly! And is still doing great! This reel has had sand caked on it, been submerged in salt water, and still smooth as silk. A quick rinse off with water and the sand had no affect on it! I would compare this reel to one of my much more costly ones, but there’s really no comparison, my freshwater rigs won’t handle salt or sand... If you’re looking for a great reel at an amazing price, look no further.

Okbassplayerguy : Great Deal!!!

I've only used it once, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. Seems really nice, especially for the money.
