### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little reel, good value for money.
*by K***K on 28 October 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price
*by B***B on 27 December 2025*

Verry good nice reel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent for the price shame about the line lay.
*by K***. on 20 May 2025*

I bought the 3000 size, and overall for £27 it's a smooth reel that feels very nice. The drag adjusts nicely and has a good click, not too loud or too quiet. The anti-reverse stops without any slack in the handle and there's no loose play on the handle spindle so it feels well engineered. Pity about the line lay, it loads heavier to the back, so you can't get the line close to the top spool edge. It won't matter on 20 gram plus lures as they'll have plenty of weight to fly out there, but on light lures it could affect casting a little, but I can't see it being a major issue if you load it as far as it will go. The line lay is the reason for 4 stars but overall there's worse feeling reels out there for the price.
