AF103 10+1BB Ball Bearings Fishing Reel

I was really surprised at how quiet the reel was while retrieving and how it lacked any noise when casting lures. I mainly fished 1/4oz swimming jigs with it and the reel worked flawlessly. Adjusting the brake and drag was straight forward and the reel maintained whatever setting I dialed in the entire weekend. Most new reels have to be adjusted as they break in but this one hasn't needed any so far. I will update this review as I get more time on the reel. I have already gotten my money's worth out of the reel. You can't go wrong giving this little guy a try.

For the price, this is a good bait casting reel. This reel is decently smooth but does make some little noises (seems get better after break in). Build quality/finishes seem to be very good for the price. The magnet system is easy to use but the tension knob leaves a little to be desired (not terrible, but does not have great range). I would not hesitate to buy it again, but do not expect the smoothest of reels.

never used one, so will take some getting use to, did get wrong reel as I like other side but will live with it, very small and nice looking and seems very solid-- but already had a couple bird nests-- boy it can go south quickly-- old man will keep trying to learn this new reel as it is not the reels fault I assume--

I like this reel. Once i got the drag set i put it to use at a near by pond. Didnt catch any monsters on it but the performance was great. Very smooth in my opinion. Time will tell how much durability it has but as of right now im satisfied. I have other high dollar baitcasters but this is just as good as the other ones. It is well built as well.

Super value for Money bait casting reel. Haven’t spent too much time with it but it seems to have it all. Has all the features of my shimano at a tenth of the cost!!
