Questions about WataChamp Bees Spincast Fishing Reel, High Speed 4.3:1 Gear Ratio, 5+1S.S.D.Stainless Steel Ball Bearings, Reversible Handle for Left/Right Retrieve, with Monofilament Line
Q:
Is this a micro reel?
Answer: It's bought a micro at the same time, this reel is
Q:
Is it suitable for saltwater?
Answer: No saltwater where I live. It’s definitely the smoothest, highest quality spincast reel I’ve seen. Worth the extra money by far.
Answer: Yes, but it is best to rinse with fresh water after each use.
Q:
Does this reel include anti-reverse? Also, what is the production country?
Answer: Dear buyer, hello, thank you for your question.
Q:
Can you add 20lb line to this reel?
Answer: Yes, but it's probably not recommended. 20 lb test usually has a pretty high diameter so you won't be able to fit much of it on the reel (I'd guess around 60 yards).
Q:
what is the highest line you can put on it
Answer: Dear customer, thank you for your question.
Answer: Not sure. I wouldn't go over about 10 pounds, but that's me. ????
Q:
Not the thing that keeps line from going in reel. Its a separate blue teardrop shaped weight or bobber that came inside the box?
Answer: Dear buyer, hello, thank you for your question.
Answer: The blue "weight" is used to practice casting.
Answer: This rubber weight is for casting practice. You can tie it on and practice casting
Q:
Where is this manufactured ? I’m tied of supporting the Chinese government
Answer: I’m guessing you’ll be using a stick to wind your fishing line on then, unless you’re willing to pay an exorbitant amount for a fishing reel. Look around, but I don’t know of any American reel manufacturers that pay US wages, that make a reel that’s affordable and competitive.
Q:
Where can i get a replacement handle ?
Answer: Ask manufatoror
Q:
Can you put Braided line on this reel?
Q:
Any difference other than color between Frog and Bee reels?
Answer: The Spincast Fishing Reel Bee is configured with 5 pieces Super Smooth and Durable stainless steel double shield ball bearing and one-piece stainless steel Instant One Way clutch.
Q:
Does it click when you reel it in ?
Answer: No, the Bees spincast fishing reel does NOT "click" during line retrieval. It is silent and smooth.
Q:
Can you add 20lb line to this reel? Or at least 15lb line?
Answer: Yes you can, it just won’t hold as much line and will not cast as far.
Answer: You can, it just won’t hold as much line. I would say that 20 line is major overkill for most fishing.
Q:
Metal gears or plastic?
Answer: The gears are metal.
Q:
fishing reel wieght?
Answer: 9.15 oz.
Answer: Dear King, WataChamp Bees fishing reel weight is 9.15oz.
Q:
Is this a cheesy fishing reel?
Answer: Nope, I found it a very good reel. It cast well with all types of line. Lures are a chore for heavier line, however dependable for catching a good size fighter. The reel has a great grip for handling to adjusting drag. A good dependable reel for the price.
Q:
is this good for bass fishing?
Answer: Hi Pam, yes it's good for bass fishing. Comparing to the spinning reel and baitcaster reel, spincast reel is easier and less trouble to cast. Its palming size, interchangeable handle and great-quality inner parts and structure make this reel reliable and durable. Wish you have a great fishing moment!
Answer: For bass fishing I would recommend spending a couple of extra dollars and going for a zebco 33 if you need to use a spincast reel. The bee / frog reel is good for panfish and the like, but I don't know how I would hold up to Sirious best fishing.
Answer: Yes, this reel is perfect for largemouth bass if your looking for a spincast reel.
Answer: I think it’s good but check the line strength

How many pickup pins?
Answer: This fishing reel has 2 pick up pins.
Q:
Any updates on the reel?
Answer: All I can say is I love it
Q:
can it be used for saltwater fishing?
Answer: I bought it because it had stainless bearings, I'm going to use it in salt and brackish water.
Q:
Is the line on this reel red or clear?
Answer: the line is clear.
Q:
Where is this reel made
Q:
What’s the best rod to pair this fishing reel with?

Answer: Yup. I'm a lefty too.
Q:
What Rod should I use with this spincast fishing reel?
Answer: More of a question is WHAT TYPE OF LINE are you going to use and light, medium or heavy fishing your planning to do? The reel will work on mostly any Rod and types of line. Crappie use a light, bass use a medium pole and catfish use a medium to heavy Rod. Good luck.
Q:
What Rod should I use with this spincast fishing reel?

Answer: Yes, the reel is spooled with 6-lb Cajun line.
Q:
Is this suitable for kids as a first fishing reel?
Answer: It depends on their age. I wouldn't recommend this reel to any child 7 or under since its still pretty large. A micro reel may be easier for a younger kid.

What is s.s.d.stainless steel ball bearings?
Answer: Stainless steel bearings have probably 10 times the life span if you fish in salt water.
Q:
What is the blue teardrop thing, weight or bobber?

Answer: A casting weight. You tie it on so you can practice casting on dry land.
Answer: It is a weight it's for practicing casting
Answer: Test weight once you attach it to you rod then you can test the reel for casting and reel smoothness.
Answer: Just a button holding the monofilament from going up into the reel.
Answer: It’s a practice plug and is used to practice casting
Q:
What type of line strength does this have
Answer: It doesn’t have much strength, what I find spincast many times don’t have strong lines in them. They are great at casting out a distance but many times they don’t last. Wish they would make it easier to fix
Q:
Can this be used for micro fishing?
Answer: I would not recommend this reel for any type of fishing. I wasn't able to get through a summer of freshwater fishing without the bearings sticking up, making the retrieval jerky and the reel ultimately unusable. It's collecting dust in the garage at the moment; I'll open it up at some point and see about cleaning out the internal gears and bearings, but who wants to do that? You shouldn't have to.
Answer: Yes, but there are probably better options. It's not a small reel and probably would not pair well with a small ultra light rod.
Answer: I can't see why not. It's a nice reel not too heavy. Should work nicely
Answer: Yes.
Q:
Is this reel small enough for a 6-8 year old boy?
Answer: Absolutely YES! I bought two of these reels for my grandson’s birthdays. They were 8 & 9 at the time. I was amazed and pleased at the quality and construction of the reels. I haven’t seen any other reels suitable for a young fisherman for the price of these reels.
Answer: It's not a small reel and in my opinion a little heavy for a 6 to 8 year old to use for a prolonged period.
Answer: Yes, it's perfect for a kid of this age. The diameter of the front cone (the largest diameter of this reel) is 2.5 inches. And perfect for adults too since its palming size.
Answer: Yes, I believe so. It is very easy to use. Put it on a shorter pole to help the child out. Have fun.
Answer: Hard to say but it’s comparable to a Zebco 33
Answer: Yes it’s perfect for those ages.
Q:
Would this reel work well with 10lb test or braided line?
Answer: 10lb mono should be fine as it's a good size reel and certainly not a micro. Braided line is generally not recommended on spincast reels.
Q:
Would this work mounted on a slingshot for bowfishing
Answer: Hi Aaron, yes it works for bowfishing. Wish you have a happy fishing time!
Answer: I would think so!
Q:
Is this reel saltwater compatible?
Answer: I use it for freshwater, and ready to try saltwater next time.
Q:
Does it come with line on it?
Answer: Yes, It should say on your package. The real is excellent, and smooth. I really like it and would highly recommend it. The value is there for the price.
Answer: yes
Product reviews of WataChamp Bees Spincast Fishing Reel, High Speed 4.3:1 Gear Ratio, 5+1S.S.D.Stainless Steel Ball Bearings, Reversible Handle for Left/Right Retrieve, with Monofilament Line
Clyde : Deal
Excellent !
Weldon Jones : Drag insufficient.
The reel cast smoothly, and I gave it 3 stars because the drag had to be completely locked down to reel in a fish, otherwise it wouldn’t reel in line.
Alexis : Best reel u wouldn’t regret it if u got one.
This is a very good spin cast reel really love the saying on them Better Life With bees. This reel is a 0.25mm-100mm 6lbs-110yds 4.3:1 5+1BB. This is a Bees reel love it.... The handle on the reel is very smooth and castes very good.
J Leverich : Worth the price
Great spincast reel for beginners. Easy to switch from left to right handed.
Bob B : The price
The price.
Amazon Customer : Nice reel!!
Excellent reel for the money. After I tried it, bought another one. Easy for younger kids to use.
Michael Byrge : Not what I expected.
Just was as good as I hope it to be.
Dj : Great for fishing
I love the speed and theprecise drag adjustment.Good for panfish!
JG : Perfect for indoor cat fishing
????opened this beauty yesterday and made at least 50 casts so far with no hang ups. I do a lot of cat fishing, not Siluriformes, but indoor feline cat fishing. The return speed outpaces my galloping cat. Enjoying it more than the pricey Daiwa Silvercast, with design flaws. Lesson: read and assess reviews first.
Todd Toles : Breaks easily.
The product worked well for about a month but after that the button on the bottom broke. I purchased another one same issue. I would not recommend this model unfortunately. It looked good from the reviews but in practice it doesn't hold up.
Lyndel R Bartlett : cant beat it for the money
No it wont compare to a $300 reel but you can not beat it for the money. Metal gears, many stainless steel parts, Perfect if you are on a budget and if you have trouble casting an open face spinner or bait caster. It does what a fishing reel should do, catch fish!
Albeiro Moncada : Buen producto
Buenos materiales y fácil de usar
Ebax : OK for a kids first fishing reel
If buying for an adult I would save my money an buy a higher quality reel
Grand Rapids Michigan : Spinning reel
Wow I want more like this one. I purchased it for one grand son that needed to up grade his fishing. I want to replace my own reels with one like this.. This can be for left or right handed. Just switch the handle to the other side. It is heavy duty and easy to use. Our grand son is a lefty!
Amazon Customer : Is very smooth operation
I wish I would have found this brand earlier
Amazon Customer : Nice reel!!
Excellent reel for the money. After I tried it, bought another one. Easy for younger kids to use.
Jacki : My favorite reel
I prefer a closed fishing reel and this one looked to be exactly what I was looking for. Turned out it meets my expectations and more. I really like how smooth it operates. And I like that it is made of metal for durability. Now if I could catch some more fish, that would be the icing on the cake!
Maynard Nickson Pike : And it works great.
I changed the 6 pound test line to 10 pound test line And it works great.
Peter J. Brosnan : Great product
Would be good if it was a stronger line but when I cast out it goes a long way.
Mare W : Poorly made and kept falling loose
As a fisherman, I was very sad to receive this. It looked like a great reel online but when I received it, the line wouldn’t stay. It kept opening up and falling apart. I tried to piece it together to see if something was loose but it was just poorly made.
Albeiro Moncada : Buen producto

Peter J. Brosnan : Great product

Clyde : Deal
Excellent !
Mark R : smooth and casts well, poor drag adjustment
This reel is very smooth and casts well. Two things that I found, it is bigger than I thought it would be, which is not a killer, but most importantly, the drag setting is not very adjustable. Just catching blue gills the drag had to be set almost totally on as far as it will go or the reel just spins. Should have more variation in the adjustment.. If I catch a big bass with this reel I doubt I would be able to reel it in as the drag would never be able to be set tight enough.
Ron J. : Nice Spin Cast Reel !
A Very Nice Spin Cast Reel Seems to Be High Quality !
Robert Lewis : One of the best real’s I bought so far
This is a awesome Real I ordered one A couple of days ago I got it in today played with it for about three hours and it is nice I liked it so much I just ordered another one for my wife can’t wait to see how well she fishes with it I wish they had more colors

Donald Lilly : GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT FINALLY!!!!!!!! How to fix binding up on reel
OK got this reel in today been looking for a Spincast reel to fish for smaller fish I’m about burn our with zebco’s and Daiwa keeps getting higher and higher. I thought I would take a chance on this real I got it in the mail today and took it apart piece by piece and I have to say I am really impressed.
Updated 7-22-21 Ok had a problem with reel wanting to bind up reeling hard, when I would take line pickup spool off it reeled easy. I noticed the rod when you push your button in that pushes your line pick up, up to cast was needing oiled mine starting binding up after about 8 hours of use, so its something you will need to oil regularly. Reel is still working great Cast a mile, have even talked with the company super people.
I fish for musky but at times use these for crappie and pan fish.
Of course I took it a part thats what men do and checked it out and I will have to say Im impressed, built like a tank and even was loaded with good grease. I loved the double pickup and the way you can take the reel apart with only a pocket knife.
I have not got to use it yet but I love the way it fits in my hand and I don’t feel like I’m holding a piece of junk I’ve used Diawa reels $$ and I can already tell this equipment is build better. It even has a strip of metal over the inside of the thumb button most reels thumb button are plastic and it wears a hole or breaks. I casted it in the yard with a light light bait and worked perfect. I will update when used for a while. I see no reason you can’t get thousands of cast, the drag was perfect. The case is metal and all fits tight. It fits perfect in your hand and also has sealed SS bearings no junk here. It says it can be used in salt water.
Anyway I’ll be watching maybe I can get another one on a lightning deal because I’m a cheapskate LOL
