The reel is a little heavier than say the Zebco 33's that use 10 pound line. It does have a very smooth operation and seems to cast a little easier and or further than other similar models. Personal preference would have been to have a double handle like level cast reels but this would obviously also add more weight to the reel. The handle does function well though. A hard cast may cause the pickups to engage during the cast but an easy or moderate casts works well. For the size level and performance it is a very good reel for all around use for the beginner as well as a veteran.

Had one like it and used for a long time, so was in the market for another just like it. Sturdy construction, light weight with simple features. Best part, it catches fish!! Love it.

Got this combo in the smaller 6 size. It’s a great little reel, but don’t let that fool you. It will haul in large mouth, sandies and even hybrids/wipers. Bluegills, Green sunfish, Redears and Warmouths are no match a buts a blast on this light tackle! Can switch handle to right/left, simple one hand push button operations. Great for kids and anyone who likes to fish and not fuss with blow-ups and wind knots.

Nice reel...well built and delivered promptly. I have used it a few times and it's mighty fine reel. I own two Ambassador reels for many years, but I like the simplicity of this reel.
