I need a reel to fisf for stripers 10-15 lb frome the bank or a dock. would the runcl i tirian spinning reel work.
Answer: Not sure, have not used the reel very much. It has 44 lbs of drag, but is a small reel. I bought the 5000, because the 6000 was not available. I put 30 lbs braid on it. You might want a heavier reel for fishing around docks.

Will the 6000 be to big/heavy for a 7' MH Rod???
Answer: I have a 5000 on a 6'6" rod and the balance is great and the reel works as advertised. I would think the 6000 would
Answer: Fits great w/ my 7'6 2p MH Whisker Seeker. I think a 7' would suit it just fine.

Anyone have experience using these for surf fishing? How's it been working?Should I go 5000 or 6000 series for an 11ft surf rod?
Answer: These are made smaller than most reels. I bought the 5000 and they looked like a 4000. Get the 6000 so it would look more proportion with your rod or look for another brand if they don’t have anything bigger.
Answer: I would go with the 6000.. I have both.. Great reel! Strong as heck,,44lb drag, smooth..I have them set up on 8' Ripping Lips Supercats. I haven't had the chance to surf fish yet with them, but I have to 12' Moonsniper ready and waiting.

Q:
What is the difference between the 2000 and 3000 model I am going to be using a 12lb test line. Which one should I get?
Answer: Hello get the 3000 if you're using 12 mono. If your going with some type of super line you'll do fine with the 2000.
Answer: Based upon use of 12 pound test line, the 2000 would be the best choice.
Answer: About $3! Ha ha. There both basically the same. The 3000 holds a little more line and has a bit faster retrieval. It also will take heavier lines ( just in case). For the money I recommend the 3000. Good fishin!
Answer: GET THE 200 BETTER FOR SMALLER TEST LINE
Answer: It`s good but very small real

Q:
Is the 5000 size OK for blues and stripers? I had a friend say it doesn't have enough line capacity.
Answer: I would go with a bigger size if you’re planning to buy this brand. Their sizes run small. I bought the 6000 and that might be too small for blues and stripers
Q:
Is this comparable to battle 6000. . Jigging for tuna
Answer: It’s a good reel but for tuna I’d go with the battle this ones a little to small
Q:
Show me the bearings.
Answer: No
Q:
could the 6000 be used for tarpon
Answer: I have used it on several Striper but nothing as potentially as large as Tarpon. I personally wouldn’t recommend it. I also have mine on a St.Croix 7’ medium heavy. One of the best rigs I have These reels are like butter. No issues with mine over the last year or so. Again I am a freshwater fisherman. Good luck and tight lines.
Answer: I have a 2000 and 3000. It maybe big enough I would not buy one of these again. I use mine for freshwater fishing. I find when I real up quickly it is not smooth and my line gets loops in it. The only way that happens is a wobble or speed changge.

Is this a real reel?

Answer: Haven’t gone fishing with it yet but liked the tight tolerances that were noted when spooling on line. I jig walleye and want reels where there is no slop or chunk going from forward to reverse. This reel fits that bill, we will see how it wears.
Q:
How is fit and finish compared with photos?
Answer: The fit and finish is actually better than in the photo, probably the nicest reel I've ever owned. Runcl reels do not disappoint!
Answer: Just like the photo. Great reel
Answer: Looks like the photo,, only problem is the bail sticks on retrieving your line
Answer: All I can say is this is a very nice reel ans extremely light weight......I love it!
Answer: Looks exactly as pictured.

How much line will this hold. i have a 6000 runcl reel. i want to put powerbraid ultra durable braided line 30 lb
Answer: my RUNCL reel was broke when it arrived and I have never returned it or gotten to use it. I didn't open it right away but waited till closer to my trip and uponSorryI couldn't help you but I was gonna use mine with 50# braid for punching weeds in Florida.
Q:
It says 4 colors available. How do i pick the color?
Answer: Thanks for your question. The 4 colors are actually 4 models, hope it helps.
Q:
I have 30 pound spider wire would the 3000 be good with that line and for saltwater ?
Answer: I prefer to use the braided line. 3 strand, you choose your weight. I choose the 25 to 30 lb line cap. Iam very happy with this combination, Unless you have metal line guides on your pool, Id shy away from spider wire, as it will wear groves in those eyes and eventually leave a ware path in the eyelets, allowing other mono line to fray on those groves, especially on the TIP guide.
Answer: i fish creek. 10lb regeler line.4lb largemouth
Answer: Yes. I use 50lb invisibraid when I jig for black sea bass
Q:

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

Product reviews of RUNCL Spinning Reel Titan II, Fishing Reel - Full Metal Body, Max Drag 44LB, 5 Carbon Fiber Washers, 9+1 Shielded Ball Bearings, Braid-Ready Spool, Hollow Out Rotor - Saltwater & Freshwater Fishing
troyst : Nice Addition to My Reels
So far so good. Shipping was fast and the little bag that came with it is a plus. Fished for about an hour without any issues, and it's got a nice weight to it.
Amazon Customer : Do it! Do it NOW!
I was very impressed with this reel. Took it for a week long surf fishing adventure on Topsail island in October. The drag is very smooth and has a loud clicker. The hollow rotor design surprisingly didn’t let any sand down into the body(I was very surprised).The reel handle turns very smoothly and there is ZERO flex in the reel seat stem like most graphite body reels like the Kastking reels I own. This reel is absolutely rock solid and I will be buying more 6000 series reels to outfit my other surf rods. My one complaint and it is very minor. I wish for the 5000 and 6000 series reels that Runcl Would include an oversized t-grip style knob to get a better purchase when cranking in large fish from the surf/sound. If you’re listening Runcl... please do this and you will have the market cornered. Moral of the story, best inexpensive surf reel I’ve used by far. Better than Kastking, better than Penn, better than Diawa. Just do it, you will not regret it.
BadMonkey0001 : Flips the bail constantly
This felt like a decent reel when it arrived, but on its first trip to the surf started flipping its bail. Now it flips the bail constantly. I have since retired it to my "loaner" freshwater pole. Maybe someone will borrow it and never return it. I wouldn't care if they did.
X : Crappy reel, crappy customer service
I’m not sure what is all the hype about this reel with the high reviews. Bought this in July of 2019 based on reviews. Took it out once in August of 2019 for trout fishing in a freshwater lake. Tried to use it in March of 2020 and the reel is pretty much useless. There is so much resistance trying to turn the handle/or reeling in. Contacted seller around March 2020 and seller wants a video of it and or pics of it. Didn’t feel like it’s necessary since we were at the beginning of a pandemic and there are much more important things to worry about. Not only that, I believe it has a 1 year warranty as well. Should have just provide an option for me to send back and they can repair/replace as needed. Anyhow, one thing to note is this reel is not as advertised. THE GEAR RATIO ON THIS REEL IS MUCH LESS THAN ADVERTISED.
Robert : smooth ball bearing action
I was first impressed with the detailed parts diagram that is included. It will make maintaining my fishing reel much longer. The bushings and ball bearings appear to be made of quality materials as the motion is quiet, consistent and almost effortless. The grip has a soft texture helping fingers to grip when wet. I used it last weekend to catch several rainbow trout here in Colorado. I encountered no issues and line replacement was quick. I plan on buying more products from RUNCL now that I see their level of value.
JJF : Awesome Reel!
After reading all the reviews, ended up buying this reel, sealed the deal with good value!

Michael : Strong
It's made of aluminium alloy, but it's not heavy at all. The pulley rolls smoothly. The important thing is that the scroll is very strong.
Stephanie Wilson : GREAT BUY
PURCHASED THE 4,000 TO PUT ON MY UGLY STIK G2 AND IT LOOKS AND FEELS AMAZING!!!
Hicks Keaton : Great Quality!
he reel is built nice. Smooth spin. Overall this reel is smooth and heavy duty feeling. Can’t wait to fish. Would definitely reccomend and buy again if need to.
Harmon L. : Quality
Looks good, feels good, can’t wait to try it.
Bishop : Great reel. This review is for the 50 size reel. I also fished the 40 size.
Just spent a week in Florida, fished every day. Never rinsed my reels once. Didn't catch any large fish, but I did catch a couple of decent snooks, couple of trout, a few catfish and a couple dozen whiting. I even hooked a boat, locked my reel down, to try and pop the 50 pound braided line. The line never popped, my reel got spooled. Respooled the reel, took it out fishing the next day, no wobble at all. So even under full drag, it did not damage the reel. I caught most of my fish with the 40 size reel, 15 pound fireline, and a 20 mono leader. Throwing jig or swim baits.
Mentl : Happy with my purchase
This reel is light but definitely sturdy. It is actually quite a bit lighter than I expected. I am not one that cares that much about a reel being super light. I am no wussy and a bit of weight to a reel never bothered me as long as the reel was study. This one, to my surprise, is both…not going to argue with that. The casts and retrievals are silky smooth which I assume is due to the number of bearings they loaded into this thing. Not going to complain in the least about that, either. Today I was using a RUNCL frog, which I normally would use with my baitcaster, cast a good long ways even with the evening breeze picking up. The grip on the handle is the same material as the grip on the handle of my rod so it is not likely to slip if it gets wet. Carbon fiber drag discs impressed me as did the total drag of 44lbs. Now, a drag of 44lb is probably overkill for this size of a reel, but it gives some serious versatility to this reel that I could not find in other reels I looked at. While I mainly bought it for bass and pan fish, it would allow me to throw this thing on a heavier duty pole and do some serious catfishing if I wanted to…and I just might. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I uploaded a couple of pics of some late afternoon fishing I did today. I did not pull any in, though I got some great hits on that frog, but that is the fisherman’s fault, not the equipment. ????
walter collins : You need to see it to believe it.
My reel arrived on time. I bought the 2000 size reel. This reel is absolutely beautiful, and has a sweet action. It casts a country mile with ease. This is far and away my most favorite reel for well over a year now. I strongly recommend this product.
Raymond D. : Spool loading incorrectly out of the box.
I didn’t expect to have to repair this Brand New Reel when I received it. The Reel would not put the line on the Spool evenly, only in the center. Amazon or Runcl should’ve replaced it, instead I had to get Aggravated with texts back and forth with Runcl. It’s a nice Smooth Reel. Repairing a New Reel out of the Box is not good.
consumer : This is a great quality reel the cost is low compared to other reels.
The cost is low compared to other reels.I love that it is constructed of machined steel and therefore stronger than aluminum. I will definitely buy from Runcl again and recommend to all my fishing buddies.
Jon H. St Hilaire : Great reel
I agree with what Larry said about the drag. I took the 300 on a trial run and snagged in in somebody's steelhead line and tackle. I thought for sure I'd lose my lure, but I cranked up the drag and, with the help of 8 lb test line, I pulled the old tackle up and kept my stuff. This is my second Runcl reel - I have a Grimm II 2000 series. I find them to be great reels. 'So Impressed I ordered two Runcl fishing hats for wife and self.
David Morrill : smooth drag and easy reel function.
This reel has functioned well on my trip to fish Northern Pike. It handled 36 inch pike well. During the first 3 or 4 fish fights, when a significant amount of drag is used, we had to make a slight adjustment tighter to get back to the setting we had before. This seems to have been needed because of initial breaking in of the drag clutches. After that tuning period, it works perfect. I had to resist buying other sizes to replace my other reels. You want a quality reel for less than 1/2 of the big names get one in the size you need!
michael wilkerson : Great reel at a great price.
Best salt water reel for the money that I’ve used so far .
Heather Sanders : So far...excellent!
Purchased for my husband who has really appreciated the Titan II 3000. He says it’s smooth and well balanced. He easily hauled in several 2-4 pound bass with it yesterday!
sasha : Their sizing is way off
First, I bought two 5000 models that are nowhere close to being a true 5000, rather much closer to a 3000 that I use for bass fishing. The photos I uploaded are comparing this reel to a true 5000 reel. Other than that, it feels like it could be a great reel. However, I need something larger for saltwater.

gregb287 : Amazing quality
i use with my medium light action rod. Reel is great quality. I use for saltwater fishing and it holds up to the elements very well
Thomas Peake : Surprised
So far all I would like to see improved is line capacity. As in holding more line. Only time and heavy use will answer about durability but for now I'll give it 4 stars.
ole skool vp : The perfect morning with the perfect reel!
The time was 330am waking up on a cool and crip Saturday morning. Making coffee and breakfast coming up with the game plan of the day. 430am out the door on the way to the fishing hole to try the days luck. The sun was just coming up over the Horizon. The birds were chirping it was the perfect time of morning. The first casted gose out and it's time to wait. Then boom here come the first rock bass! The game is on. So iv been useing the the new runcl titan 2 6000 for just over a week now. I must say it was well worth the money! The cast with it is beautiful and smooth. The drag is easy to change at a moment notice. When your reeling a fish. Its buttery smooth to reel in too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new fishing reel
Ghareed I. Joharji : Great reel for the price
I did not expect this product will be very good comparing with the other product with this range of price and am looking for Runcl 6000 after testing 3000 model
troyst : Nice Addition to My Reels

Jay F. : Good price
It's bigger than what I thought it was so make sure you have the proper rod to use it on . I have not been able to use it on the water yet but the times I have casted it in the yard seems to be a good reel .
Ronny Acosta : Light weight
This reel is not only light weight but fit perfectly onto my pole without having to force it on. Fishing lure went on easily and never binded. Nice to hear a click from bail so I knew its up all the way before casting. Nice grip on the handle and reeling in was smooth and quick. The anti reverse switch worked well. Wasn't able to test out the weight on this as I only caught small 1-3lb trout. Not to mention, the color on the reel is nice and hasn't chipped after having it for almost a month.
consumer : This is a great quality reel the cost is low compared to other reels.
The cost is low compared to other reels.I love that it is constructed of machined steel and therefore stronger than aluminum. I will definitely buy from Runcl again and recommend to all my fishing buddies.
Pen Name : Solid reel for a multitude of fish species!
Took a gamble on this reel for my 6’6 ugly stik gx2, (a bit overkill for this setup) as I never heard of RUNCL. What sold me was the cost, the drag rating, and ability to spool a lot of line. It’s treated me just as good as my Shimano/Penn reels, if not better. Quickly became my go to rod/reel for puppy drum, speckled trout, Spanish Mack’s ect. While my setup isn’t ideal, it’s helped me land fish with ease and confidence. Honestly tried to purchase another for a back up and it was unavailable. 100% would purchase again!
james : Beautiful and smooth
great reel great price RUNCL is on my radar for future equipment needs. total quality!
Dustin : Excellent reel
Excellent reel. The reel cast very well and is very smooth. I highly recommend this reel. I will definitely be purchasing another one to have as a spare or to set up with different line.
Mentl : Happy with my purchase
This reel is light but definitely sturdy. It is actually quite a bit lighter than I expected. I am not one that cares that much about a reel being super light. I am no wussy and a bit of weight to a reel never bothered me as long as the reel was study. This one, to my surprise, is both…not going to argue with that. The casts and retrievals are silky smooth which I assume is due to the number of bearings they loaded into this thing. Not going to complain in the least about that, either. Today I was using a RUNCL frog, which I normally would use with my baitcaster, cast a good long ways even with the evening breeze picking up. The grip on the handle is the same material as the grip on the handle of my rod so it is not likely to slip if it gets wet. Carbon fiber drag discs impressed me as did the total drag of 44lbs. Now, a drag of 44lb is probably overkill for this size of a reel, but it gives some serious versatility to this reel that I could not find in other reels I looked at. While I mainly bought it for bass and pan fish, it would allow me to throw this thing on a heavier duty pole and do some serious catfishing if I wanted to…and I just might. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I uploaded a couple of pics of some late afternoon fishing I did today. I did not pull any in, though I got some great hits on that frog, but that is the fisherman’s fault, not the equipment. ????
gregb287 : Amazing quality
i use with my medium light action rod. Reel is great quality. I use for saltwater fishing and it holds up to the elements very well
Thomas Of Augusta : dollar for dollar, you wont do any better else where
Light weight, but still strong and well balanced for several different length of rods. Movement is that of other high end open faced reels,witch allows me to up date my fishing tackle at a reasonable price per unite.
RW : Great real
Very nice very happy it's about time Great real but the handle were you crying when it's loose that's the only problem I don't know what to do with it can somebody help me.
ole skool vp : The perfect morning with the perfect reel!
The time was 330am waking up on a cool and crip Saturday morning. Making coffee and breakfast coming up with the game plan of the day. 430am out the door on the way to the fishing hole to try the days luck. The sun was just coming up over the Horizon. The birds were chirping it was the perfect time of morning. The first casted gose out and it's time to wait. Then boom here come the first rock bass! The game is on. So iv been useing the the new runcl titan 2 6000 for just over a week now. I must say it was well worth the money! The cast with it is beautiful and smooth. The drag is easy to change at a moment notice. When your reeling a fish. Its buttery smooth to reel in too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new fishing reel
Nabil Ibrahim : For light freshwater use only
I liked the looks and light weight But after using it for few weeks now it’s getting very rough and freezing as I turn. It gets stock as I pull the line out of the water It’s ok for light use only I don’t recommend it for saltwater use or washing the reel with water it will damage the bearing Price is too expensive for low quality reel
Edward Waters : Great reel until you take it apart.
Awesome first impressions. 3 star simply Bc I took off the handle and the spoil to realize the manufacturer did not grease or oil any components what so ever. Now that scares the hell out of me. What kind of reel company doesn’t oil the bearings and grease the gears?!?
brianperfilio : False advertising, not full metal, not 44lbs drag
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! item is not as described. Description says full metal body. This is not full metal. Lots of plastic parts. Cheaply made and overpriced. I bought 1 of these and another similar less expensive one from another seller... the items were clearly from the same manufacturer and were identical in packaging, user manual and item. Also the listing says 44lbs of drag, but that is also a lie... avoid this item and buy something else.. you are welcome
Gnome67 : could have been a 5 star but....
I used this a week ago and stripers are biting by the pier. After catching about 20 undersized fish, I noticed the handle started jamming so i inspected it and the handle came a little loose and the shank cover that is made of plastic was cracked. I asked the community on the item listing where i could find a replacement part but no answer yet. Runcl replied to me asking my order number and that they would look into it. That was a week ago and haven't heard anything since. I will update this review once I hear something from the seller.
Randy : Goo d reel, not what I needed
Well made reel, very smooth action, not what I thought I ordered. My bad, the ad showed multiple series (sizes) of the same model, thought I ordered the 6000 got the 4000, to small for my intended use, returned it. Like the all metal frame, I’ve been known to break the graphite framed reels.
Randy "RT" : Works very well, seems to be top notch!
This is a beautiful looking spinning reel. Arrived well packaged and even came with a nice "velvet-like" bag. Unsure what it was for but it looks nice. I wound up 150 yards of 12 pound test, grabbed my tackle box and headed for the bass pond. From the first cast the reel felt solid, action smooth, retrieval was easy. I ran a few top baits with no response so I switched to a spinner, again the reel worked flawlessly. I didn't catch anything but the reel performed well and the only thing that keeps me from the five star rating is the price. Let me say this reel is competitively priced and works as intended. It's just, for me, fishing is becoming as expensive as golf, and I gave that up last summer. Bottom-line, this is a solid and well functioning piece of fishing equipment. I purchased some lures from this same supplier last year and they have performed admirably, just as I expect this reel will continue to.........if I can afford to go.
Jr : Great reel for the price... perfect size for surf/pier fishing
Reel is lightweight. Very easy to cast multiple times without wearing you out... felt sturdy and the handle grip is slightly bigger for a better grip.. used it on the pier to cast jigs and can’t wait to use it on the surf..
William : 6000 feels smooth
Not light weight at all. 6000 feels solid and sturdy. Feels good. Can't wait to try it first. Then will update
Shannon : Super Performance Reel!!
What can you say about a reel that delivers every time you use it? I ordered this reel close to a year or more ago and i have used it over 100 times in that time frame! I have never once had any issues with the reel. The grip still feels great and the body of the reel always feels sturdy with the highest quality. This reel has easily reeled in over 200-300 fish at this point and it has not worn out or has any failures at all. I have used this reel from everything from Crappie and bass up to 50+ lb shark, blue fish, mullet and more!
I recommend this with all the confidence a hard core fisher man can! Don't think twice, hit that buy now button!!!!
