Best inexpensive reel i have purchased. I’ve tried many different types of inexpensive reels from Zebco big cat, lews, and basspro catmaxx and this one is by far my favorite. Great durability, smooth transition from casting to retrieving. Can cast a santee rig with 4oz sinker and big bluegill a mile away. Not quite as far as an abu garcia but pretty close. Anyways if you are on a budget and love fishing for big flathead, blue catfish and big stripers this is the reel for you.

I knew it was a used reel but I thought it would be functional..only on my first day of fishing, I started to just drop the line in the water with a 2oz sinker and it "got stuck". The release clip then would not function properly. I knew it was used but at least thought it could last me a season or two....don't buy used reels

I started using these reels when fishing the deep areas around lakes along piers, docks and especially dams. Off the edge of a boat into the murky water waiting for that lurking 50lb cat or carp to lock up with me is a great and exhilarating experience. These reels are pricey but reliable and have a flawless drag system. The challenge of using a conventional reel w/ level wind makes it worthwhile when your reeling in a lunker you feel the total control in the rod and reel. I rig mine with magibraid particularly because it comes in various colors. I use my bright colors for salt for visibility and my greens strictly for fresh. Superseding Shimano's great Corsair and Catala reels the Corvalus has incorporated all the great features and all the knowledge gained by years of reel making into one reasonably-priced, tough round reel.

The Shimano baitcaster is one of my favorite reels. All of my reels are for a lefty. This particular one is for a right handed person, since my girlfriend is right handed and has been using one of mine I felt it was time to give her one of her own. The Shimano reels are dependable reels. I have purchased at least ten of them on E-Bay and have only had one bad experience. The only other thing is that everyone else seems to feel the same,E-Bay Prices have been going up on Shimano reels
Very user friendly, very nice reel for the money. Would buy another.
