Very nice reel, very smooth,gears very smooth. Drag very good. Good price.

The only review you need to read.This is for freshwater review. NOT FOR SALTWATER!!!These are amazing reels for the price. For anyone who is starting out or is avid fishermen. I been using these 4 to 5 times a week on the biggest lake in PNW. I fish Lake Washington. With 30 different types of fish. And different sizes and weight. With great success.I currently own 3 of these Piscifun Flame reels. On 3 different setups, from pan fish to large mouth and cat fish. My setups are all less then $60 including the line I put on the reel.I I get the smooth cast everytime. From my 5" to 7" pole. Using all size lures and just to a split shot and bober set up for some panfish. You wont be disappointed in this reel.This isn't your cheap plastic walmart reel or reel and combo, you get at walmart. This reel does compete with the Penn or even other high end reels. But for a more affordable price tag. I have mine for a year now. And still cast smooth like day one. I don't keep up with the oiling and other maintenance, becuase I wanted to see how long it will last with neglect, also less $30 I can buy a new one if needed to be. So far over a year of use. And still going strong. I will recommend this to any fresh water fisherman or fisherman. It's a great reel for the beginner or the advance. Would I use this for a bass competition, probably. Lol.So here my setup for pan fish and basic bass fishing. If you are new to fishing or just wanting a nice cheap freshwater setup.Panfish - Bluegill,sunfish, pumpkin seeds, perch, white or black crappie, etc.I use a shakespeare micro series rod. This is my 5" rod. Ultra light. Great to feel even the smallest bites.Around $20 on amazon.Bigger fish - Trout, Bass, Walleye, etc.Berkley Cherry Wood HDThis is a full wood rod. Coming in around 6'6 and also a 7" rod. Medium/heavy. Now before you say why would you want a Medium/heavy for trout or even walleye.This has a tip of a light rod (meaning you can fill small bites), but the back bone of a heavy rod. I pulled 13lbs fish in on 8lbs test thanks to this rod.This is like the name says. Made of cherry wood, so the tip is easily breakable. But wont break from weight of bigger fish. It's great rod. I been using them for 15+ years now. And own multiple sizes.Around $20 on amazon.I use berkely invisible line on all my reels. Just personal choice.

Yes, I have three of these reels and they all work great for ultralight fishing and the price is so low for a quality reel. The 500 model is light, has a smooth action and the drag is secure and smooth. Great product, Thank You.

Amazing reel for the money! Set up my rods for fishing lake Winnipeg and they performed perfectly! Smooth drag!

Great reel for trout fishing! Butter smooth! Will be buying again for new set up

The media could not be loaded. My husband put this reel on a falcon ultralight rod with 2lb test. took it down to Santa Ana River Lakes and caught his personal best trout, 9lb’s. He says this reel held up & looks great. 10/10⭐️

I typically fish 5-6 times a week for at least an hour a day in the summer so I put a lot of wear on my equipment. I consider a product good if I can get 2 season out of it with little to no maintenance. I hate to spend top dollar on rods and reels because I really am not gentle on them. They get thrown into my trunk, dropped in the water and what not. So far I have fished probably 20 hours with these reels and no issues. Right price and right quality as far as I am concerned. I will up date if I have any issues in the future.So now I have had a few seasons with them. For the price you can not beat them. Again I am not easy on my equipment and since I bought my boat I now fish probably 25 hours per week in the summer so these get used and used a lot. I typically get 2 or more seasons per reel which for the price is fully worth it. Now I just need to find a rod that will do the same. I usually only get a half of season out of a rod before they snap.UPDATE 4/22/19 5 star to 3 star:Now that I have landed a few fish with these reels I am not as impressed as I once was. I bought two reels and the one is still working fantastic. The other one I ended up catching like a 6-7lbs large mouth bass and it spooled it pretty good. I am pretty sure I flat spotted one or more of the bearing in the reel. I could understand if I had caught several large fish or a big muskie it doing this but after one large fish this is unacceptable. There is NO WAY I will be getting two seasons out of this reel. I didn't even get the 1st month.******update*******2/27/23So I will give these a solid 4 stars. If you don't want to spend $50 plus per reel these are great. I have 4 of them in my arsenal. 3 of them I leave on my boat and 1 I keep with me in the truck. For the abuse I put my equipment thru and the amount of hours I fish I can't see anything this price being better. For the average fisher this thing is going to last you a decade if not longer. I do more fishing in a month, during the summer, than most people fish all year.
