Saltwater Spinning Reel, 13+1BB Smooth Saltwater Fishing Reels, Carbon Drag

So far so good, I purchased this reel with the attitude what do I have to loose. If it was cheaply made I would send it back. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and very happy with the looks, feel and smooth operation of the crank, bail, and drag. Ive spoiled up some 35 lb braid and have been shore fishing with it probably 5 times. The reel works as expected and lookd good doing it. Cant beat the price I say grab one or two before there gone.

My son caught a huge redfish and he helped us choose red fish for dinner this reel is so smooth the drag is really strong I highly recommend it

Great beginner reel looks exactly like the shimano stradic for like a fraction of the price. the 4000 works great for saltwater catfish and bass. it feels good and would definitely recommend

I have been looking at saltwater reels for some time now and the cost is really above affordability! Yes, Penn is a workhorse and Shamino & Diawa are the sports cars but they are price that way. The average person is watching their spending and this reel had everything you should have for a saltwater reel, including the price. I was a bit skeptical at first but I could not match the stats for the price. I knew when I opened the box I had a winner, it was hearty but not heavy for a 5000 reel. The handle screwed in and was solid, it spun like reels costing 5 or 6 times this much. So I loaded it with braid and took it out fishing today. WOW!! Casts like a dream and feels as good as anything on the market. I am telling you now you better grab some before they go up. I will buy these from now on! I can buy 4 of these for the price of 1 Penn! Don’t forget this is saltwater sealed with stainless steel bearings!

Reel is holding up well salt water inshore fishing.

Its really not bad for the money . Ive used it a few times out on the boat now. Its done well with the saltwater. I figured it would be toast after 1 time. Nope still smooth even the drag is smooth . Cast well

This reel is way better than expected for the price. I needed a red for my light action setup. I’ve already caught several fish and think the drag is exceptional, the reel is ultra smooth and the overall feel is top quality. I fish primarily in salt water and rinse the red after use. We’ll see how it holds up with proper maintenance. Also, I messaged the seller with a question and they responded immediately. They offered to replace the unit if I wasn’t happy with it. I’m happy with it and just had a general question which they answered. Even the customer support is better than expected.

Nice, smooth reel. Retrieve ratio is a little slow for lure fishing. It makes a great bait and wait reel.
