Who It’s Best For
This reel is ideal for anglers who:
-
Want a simple, durable spincast platform that bridges beginner‑friendly ease with heavier‑duty performance.
-
Are targeting larger freshwater species—such as big bass, catfish, walleye or strong‑fighting panfish—using 12–20 lb test line or heavier.
-
Prefer not to deal with the learning curve of baitcasters but want more muscle and smoother retrieval than basic entry‑level spincast models.
-
Value a setup that’s ready to go right from the box—with pre‑spooled line and ambidextrous configuration.
How to Use It
-
Mount the reel on a compatible medium‑to‑medium‑heavy action spincast rod rated for 15–30 lb line for balanced performance.
-
Check the ambidextrous retrieve setting and switch to the hand that feels most natural for you.
-
Adjust the MicroFine drag before casting—start with about one‑third of your line‑strength rating (for example, ~6–7 lb drag for 20 lb line) and fine‑tune as you fish.
-
Use the no‑tangle button or trigger (common in spincast models) to begin a cast: depress the button, swing or make your cast, and then release the button as the lure travels.
-
On the retrieve, engage the handle smoothly—thanks to the three‑bearing drive and anti‑reverse, you’ll get positive hook‑sets and confident line control when a fish strikes.
-
After your session, rinse the reel with fresh water if fishing in dirty or slightly brackish water, then store it dry and apply a light reel oil to the handle and any moving parts periodically to maintain smooth operation.
With this reel in your hands, you’re well‑equipped to step up from casual casting to serious fish‑pursuit—while still enjoying the simplicity and reliability of a spincast design.
