What is the difference between this reels compared to the other reels?

Answer: I don't believe there is much difference in reels like this in the $40 price range as far what they are suppose to do. This reel is built solid and performs flawlessly. I bought a second one due to the price and quality.

Answer: It's just a good reel for the money--I have two. Has sensitive controls.

Answer: There is not any published information which would allow you to make a comparison. I personally can’t look at an item or picture to determine features. I rely on the maker to provide specifications and details. Sorry but no information, no good to me.

Anyone using this for surf fishing? Can it handle up to 6oz sinker?

Warranty on this?

Answer: No warranty

Product reviews of Calamus X2 Baitcasting Reel, 6.7oz Compact Design Fishing Reel, Micro-Adjustable Magnetic Brakes, 5+1 Double-Shielded Stainless-Steel BB, 7.2:1 Gear Ratio, Aluminum Spool

patrick kaler : Same as KastKing Royal Legend 2

Very nice reel, very smooth and casts very well, easy to set up if you are familiar with baitcasters. I took it apart and cleaned oiled and greased it before using and internally it is the same as my KastKing Royal Legend 2 which has been excellent. Another good thing is it cost $20.00 less than the KastKing which makes it a screamin hot deal. Oh and #2 is already on the way!

AaronW : Amazing for the price

This is probably the best bang for the buck reel I have purchased. I have reels that easily cost 10 times as much, and this reel isn't much worse than them. It operates smooth, the brakes are easy to adjust, the bearings are quiet, the spool is perforated which I like, and the tension knob clicks when you adjust it. I will adjust my review if I encounter any issues, but this is a great buy at more than double this price for sure!

Amazon Customer : Awesome

Haven't used it yet but I already have 2 and I love them.I have used them multiple days without a backlash. And they are butter smooth

Michael Johnson : So far, so good. Let's see how it holds up.

So far this reel has outperformed & more than proven itself worth the price, imo.

This is the first bait-caster I've ever held let alone purchased & used. I actually just got into bass fishing a few weeks ago.

I figured for the price, let's play. Took me about 2 days to get down all the different settings, drag, brake, etc. Now I'm just rippin lips non-stop. This reel really performs, even against 2-3ft Chain Pickerel.

I've been switching it around & playing with it on different types & lengths of rods. From 4'6" to 6'6". Ultra light to Medium.

I've had 6lb, 8lb, 10lb, 12lb & right now I'm happily rigged up with 15lb & it's just killin it. From poppers, flukes, spinners/spoons to cranks & soft swimbait.

Super durable, wicked fast, quiet & smooth. So far it's cosmetically holding up to all the wear. Solid 5 stars unless something happens.

GetOutTheHouseGoFish : Got the Calamus x2 on sale; great reel for the price; GetOutTheHouseGoFish!

Got the reel with a 60% off coupon! wow what a bargain.
Going to be using this reel in saltwater since it has double shielded SS BB.
A great reel to get to practice too if your just learning how to use a baitcaster.

PEEPS : great bang for your buck

like the EVA handles, very smooth.

Mark : Very interesting baitcaster

I have had this reel out fishing 3 times. I have not had a back lash yet. I am starting to wonder if this reel is better than my name brand higher priced reels. I would say buy it, you will not be sorry. It is solid, very lightweight and well made.

PEEPS : great bang for your buck

like the EVA handles, very smooth.

Barb gartland : High quality reel at a great price.

At 60% discount, this reel was a great deal. The casts are very smooth and quiet. So glad I purchased it. Thank you.

Yevgeniy : Butter smooth. Left-handed Calamus X2.

Just got this reel in the mail, and am already impressed with how smooth it is out of the box. The packaging was great, as well as the breakdown of all of the components of the reel in a handy graph. I am looking forward to using it and may update the review once I have tested it on the water.

D.G. : Made a believer out of me...hanging up my LEWS.

If I could give it 10 I would. I’ve been spending Way to much money on big brand baitcaster’s. Not any more...this outperforms them at a fraction of the cost. Easy to set up, easy to cast, and the distance is phenomenal.

Follow up...this reel continues to amaze. It’s become my ‘go to’ reel and I have several MUCH more expensive ones to choose from. Incredibly smooth, easy setup, rarely tangles, just a very peculiar high value reel for much less than would Ever be expected. By the way, I purchased an open box Kastking Royals 2 as several reviewers said it as identical to the Calamus 2. It isn’t. The CALAMUS 2 has a much better spool and mag adjustment.

Christopher Stassi : Nice weight and feel in your hand.

These reels were on sale at a fantastic price. Can't wait to use it.

Jesse H. : smooth

this is the best baitcaster i have ever gotten from amazon.smooth quit and feels solid.and only second to a couple of name brand reels i have that cost at least $100.

Silas : Nice

Great reel looks super nice and good quality build to it.

Amazon Customer : Awesome
