Flawless reels
I purchased three of these reels almost exactly a year ago - best reels I have ever used ! I'm a serious salt and freshwater fisherman and make investments in gear I can trust. This is a must-have whether you are lake trolling or saltwater fishing. The line counter has NEVER failed and the drag is second to none. Okay - a little on the pricey side, but you know the adage - you get what you pay for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these reels, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Line counter is not working after less than a year!!!
It's been a year and the line counter is not working anymore. I used it time to time and took good care of it. Shimano service department is asking for $50 to fix it and maybe more depending on what's needed. I'm so disappointed.

Best reels I've owned in a while
Had them for about 3 weeks now - I'm a salmon fishing guide so I have 5 of them . 4 are spooled with 50# Power Pro slick 8 coated braid. 1 is spooled with 25# Berkeley mono. The drags on these are smooth and they hold well. I've had one line counter stick a little bit, but that's to be expected with almost all line counters, not sure why.The reels have held salmon well so far, and I see many more in their future. I could not be more impressed with the stability and reliability of these reels compared to the Okuma ColdWaters that they replaced.

Smooth
This is one of the most ergonomic and smoothest, reeling, and drag reel I have ever used. Bought one a while ago and immediately knew I needed a matching one!!

This is a smooth drag reel! Great for salmon and striper trolling. I now own 3 of them!
