Got this to match my whitebird rod which I love. This is the worst reel I’ve ever owned and wish I could get my money back. Paid $60 for this thing and it didn’t last one season. It was subject to the same freshwater conditions as all my other reels and the reel eventually locked up. I opened it up to clean and inspect. The internals are all plastic and what parts are actually metal showed rusting. For comparison none of my Kastking or Pflueger reels look like this and are out on the same trips. Paint also flaked off almost immediately. I loved your rods but you lost me as a customer because of the reels. Also shipping for rods now is $30? No thanks. I’ll stick to Kastking and Pflueger. At least I can get a Kastking reel that’s better quality for the price of your shipping. Sucks that Chinese quality is beating USA made.

I absolutely love this reel super smooth line doesn't get caught under the spool on missed fish will purchase more.

The packaging was secure, easy to see the product.
