What can I say? The reel is awesome! Took it out of the box, spooled it with 50lb braid, put it on my favorite 7'6" heavy rod and headed for my favorite spot. The reel is incredibly smoothe, brakes work as they should. Fished for almost 4 hours after work and not a single backlash. Hauled in a nice chunky largemouth and the reel performed flawlessly. This reel performs as well as my higher end gear. Do not hesitate, buy two!

Looks great but haven’t had it on the water yet. Have castes in backyard though and action and retrieving were very good.

Mike B.

Reel used for fishing Kabura sliding lures.
Len K.
Ordered one last year to try and just got 2 more. One helluva a reel for the price, casts like a reel 4 times the cost.
Clifford B.
Lure action is so incredible with this reel; I can't believe that I had been missing out on this much control. My fishing arsenal just went up 2 levels! Love it.
Steve N.
Bought 5 of these reels and they cast as good as any 300 dollar reel. Very light and the drag and braking systems are excellent. Their spinning reels are just as good. Bought 3 of them and love them. Would recommend them to anyone.
Paul G.
I used the real for the first time today. It functioned very well, and did all that it was supposed to do. Overall a very good reel for the price.
danny h.
The reel is very easy to cast. The most impressive thing is so light it extends the feel of each cast. Almost like it is and extension of your arm.
Anthony C.
Nice and smooth casting
James c.
I'm a beginner and have never used a bait casting reel before. I was very impressed with the looks, easy set up and operation of this reel. I caught my first small mouth bass while learning how to throwing a jig. My Uncle is a avid Bass fisherman and he was impressed as well. I look forward to using my Fishdrops world lightest carbon fiber reel for many years to come.

Robert R.
I very much like the reel. It is just as smooth as the over priced ones in the big super stores but without all the people in the way. I can't wait to fight a big one this summer with it on my rod.
Joseph G.
Haven't used it yet but it seems like a quality reel
Phillip B.
Works so very smoothly. Unfortunately, I have not hooked the big one to be able to test its strength against a big challenge. Hope that day comes soon. However, I do enjoy fishing with this reel.

Garry P.
I set the brakes and drag on the reel and used it this week. It works very well and I didn't have the problem with the line messing up as I have had with some open faced reels. It is as smooth as can be. I think this will be my favorite reel to fish with.
Michael C.
Very nice reel and smooth performance.

Charles B.
One of the finest reels I have ever used. The fact that it's the lightest reels ever it will fight the biggest fish. No pics at the moment in action. They will follow. I will buy more to make my fishing arsenal complete. If you get a chance to buy one of these reels, buy it. You want be disappointed.
Charles Bedwell
Douglas R.
Works great stripers on lake Cumberland
Charles S.
I haven't got to use it except in my farm pond. Appears to cast very smooth. I am sure I will have to adjust it more when I actually start fishing. As for now i am completely satisfied with my purchase.
Simon F.
My 13y/o son claimed it, he's on a 2 day fishing trip with a friend with it now!
William F.
Only used it once so far, but fished it with a weightless senko and had no problem throwing a good distance. Really like the reel.
Charles P.
very light smooth operating reel. A pleasure to use.
William W.
I love the way cast it's light weight it's just a good reel
Rick E.
I must say the Fishdrops fishing reel is one of the smoothest reels I have ever used. I fish Tournaments for bass and I love the way the reel cast into hard to get to places. Great for all fishing needs.
John B.
The reel was beyond my exception. I am very pleased with it, also the spinning rods worked very well.
CREED K.
LOVE THIS REEL SO FAR. I HAVE SEVERAL REELS THAT WERE $160 AND UP. THIS ONE IS AS GOOD AS ANY OF THEM. HOPE IT LAST AS LONG AS THEY DO. THIS IS THE FIRST FISH I CAUGHT ON THE REEL. REEL IS VERY SMOOTH AND YOU CAN SET THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO CAST ANY KIND OF CAST, FLIP, INTO WIND, WITH THE WIND, LONG CAST FOR THOSE HARD TO REACH SCHOOLS NO PROBLEM. I WAS HESITANT ABOUT BUYING THIS REEL BUT I AM SOOOOOO GLAD I DID. WILL BE GETTING ME ANOTHER ONE. HAPPY FISHING!!!!
Brian K.
I watched this on the FB page for a while, because like most of us fisherman I am a skeptic. IF it's that cheap it's gota be junk. Right?? Well I was wrong by a mile!! When it comes to my reels I like to get them tricked out to the max. "super tuned" This reel blew me away. I put it through hell trying to destroy it. And it never failed once. It cast as well as my tuned name brand reels. Trust this review, you are not throwing your money away on this reel.
Alan F.
I ordered one and somehow screwed up and ended up with four...after using it the other day I am glad of my mistake now....the reel is smooth and cast a mile...gave one to my nephew, it's his first baitcaster he loves it...so far this reel is definitely worth the money...took about 2 weeks to get it but that's not a problem...I would say try one....well worth the price right now...thank you..
O J.
This reel is great, very smooth action. It casts easy and smooth. I have used it about four times out fishing and I love it. Was skeptical before ordering because of the "you get what you pay for" attitude. But when I received it, it looked good and was really smooth. Used it in a tournament last weekend and it was great. Easy to cast and adjust.
Penn S.
This is a great baitcasting reel for the money. I have owned this reel for just shy of a year now and it has worked flawlessly on several fishing trips I've been on. The body of the reel as Well as the handle are of an all metal construction and you can really feel the quality. The drag system is amazing and you can really fine tune the casting brakes to get the best possible cast setup. One of the smoothest reels I own. Plain and simple you won't be disappointed.
Shon S.
Amazing quality for the price! Action is super fast and smooth. Shipping was quick and on time as expected. I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend it. Should I have any issues with this reel, I'll update further.
