This reel is killer for the money. Very well built, smooth, and dope looking. Ive been using a high end Abu Garcia spinning reel, that I bought in 2015 on sale for 150 bucks. I also have multiple Abu Garcia baitcasters. Back when I used to fish tourneys, I was an abu garcia guy all the way. I just recently started getting into local tourneys again, and decided I needed to upgrade my gear and buy more gear to supplement what I have. Plus, tech has changed, especially when it comes to rods and the way the blanks are exposed at the grip for extra sensitivity etc.

CEOLoved this reel out of the box. Like the no-flex aluminum frame, held a good amount of line, great drag system, loved fishing with it. I used this for trolling in my kayak. Attached it to my favorite rod and went out in hopes of catching big stripers. First time out didn't catch any big ones but lots of little guys. Second time out ended up loosing my favorite rod and new favorite reel in 30 feet of water while fighting with a fish as I tried to get a treble hook out of it's mouth. Haven't told mama yet. Might just try to buy another one real quick...secretly. Would recommend.

I purchased the 4000 series for inshore on the gulf coast. The design and price are what got my attention to this reel. Out of the box, it was lightweight and clean, came with a breakdown guide of the reel, and how to care for the reel. I spooled it with 22 lb braid, on a 7'2" medium/fast action rod. The spool was easy to put braid on with no backing. Tested this is 3/4 oz spoon, the casting was great, threw it about a hundred times, and no issues at all. Retrieval, it did not feel like a 3/4 spoon, much lighter feel. Pulled in two specs and a red, with no issues. The reel did not bog down with the weight, I even got hung on something and pulled the boat to it to get it unhooked. The drag was great, I set it light just to test it out and tightened it during a fight and it was very smooth and responsive. The handle and grip are comfortable, no play in the handle nor the anti-reel. Love this reel, even my buddy who has Penn reels loved it and want to get one for himself.

The resulting page looks very well. It was very easy to change colors and fill with my info. Since is well based in Bootstrap 4 it is very easy to make changes and still don't lose the style

CEOI took a gamble and went to a cheaper real this round. I normally buy all high priced reals rods etc. and have terrible luck. I ve tried lower end reals that i know i'll kill in saltwater and they are barely cheaper than these but also dont hold up well. My kastking went through 2 weeks of nonstop saltwater casting with no issues . I also use the same rods/reals at home and they are very smooth compared to even my higher end reels which i dont use at all anymore now.
