Its a great reel smooth casting for now and just as smooth on the retrieve. It has a nice low profile to the reel very comertable in your hand. the spool is pretty narrow so you cant fit alot of mono or floro on it but a decent amount of braid. The drag is nothing to brag about at 13lbs just means that you play the fish longer not a reel id plan to use for tournament fishing if money is involed.

This reel does not feel as refined as my other Daiwa reels. Even the regular Fuego feels much more solid. Despite a little extra play in the handle and a whine on hard casts (before I took it apart and oiled it), it is a good reel at a good price. This reel is Daiwa's lower end of their mid grade reels and it still fishes better than some Lews and Abu reels I got at twice the price.

This is a good entry level reel for those on a budget. This is my second bait casting reel and found it to be superior to my first one. The breaking dial on this reel is much more precise than my first one which just had Min & Max with no marks in between. You just had to guess where to turn the dial. I got it for quick retrieves out of heavy cover and it fills the bill. I would love t get technical, but don't know enough about reels to feel qualified.

8.1.1. Gear ratio , about the same size as lews reels , smaller than the speed demon ,for 67$ ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ Using my 703 dobyns champion series rod , the fit was perfect , I was using the KASTKING 9.1.1 speed demon . That reel has so many issues . I NEEDED a super fast reel so I bought the feugo CT, 4 times better reel , itโs so so much smoother , and you donโt here the grinding of gears while retrieving like that shit of a reel does ,the drag is great: this sucker can launch lures with an easier set up right out of the box . THANKS DAIWA

Great reel. Amazing 8.1:1 gear ration (34 IPT I think). Super fast. I'm using it on a 735C Dobyns. Its basically the daiwa tatula without the T-Wing system.
