Reels are top notch for the price! Ive thrown every thin from a 1/4 oz jig to the 14oz deadtwitch n still kickin ass. I took on out to the salt to see if i could blow it up on tuna n the reel handled the lil yellow fin perfect! Deff worth the buy! I like the 7:1 for top water n tt 6:3 for jus about every thin else.
