## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flawless reels
*by D***M on August 9, 2023*

I purchased three of these reels almost exactly a year ago - best reels I have ever used ! I'm a serious salt and freshwater fisherman and make investments in gear I can trust. This is a must-have whether you are lake trolling or saltwater fishing. The line counter has NEVER failed and the drag is second to none. Okay - a little on the pricey side, but you know the adage - you get what you pay for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these reels, I don't think you will be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good
*by C***N on March 21, 2025*

Good reel for small stuff

### ⭐ Line counter is not working after less than a year!!!
*by K***T on April 16, 2025*

It's been a year and the line counter is not working anymore. I used it time to time and took good care of it. Shimano service department is asking for $50 to fix it and maybe more depending on what's needed. I'm so disappointed.
