This reel is smooth. The drags work perfectly and allow easy fine tuning, and the BaitRunner lever is nicely positioned with just the right tension. If I could change one thing about this reel, it would be the line capacity. The spool is nice and deep, but it is rather short. I was able to get about 12 layers of 20lb mono backing and then only about 230 yards of 30lb KastKing Mega8 braid. A 6000 series reel should hold more than that.

This is a high quality reel and it is an excellent value. A lot of reel for the money. Well made and simple to use.

I been out in the surf quite a few times with this reel and love everything about it. Great bale, the runner and drag work very smoothly. Unlike some of its competition, your drag is engaged the moment you turn the handle. With Penns, for example, you need to turn the handle a couple to engage. The only fish that really put a bend in my rod were a large ray and a 4 ft. shark and this reel operated flawlessly from the pick-up to beaching these brutes. Can't wait till Oct. when the big blues and stripers come back to town.

This is a great reel, used last week at the coast at Oak Island NC. It 's as smooth as silk and caught plenty of fish. Highly recommend this reel. It was a Christmas present for my 9 yr old grandson and he let me use it too. He said it was his best present.
