12+1 Ball Bearings Baitcasting Reel Fishing Fly High Speed Fishing Reel with Magnetic Brake System

I bought this because I wanted a cheap bait caster where I wouldn't spend to much time learning. Well, I spent weeks trying to figure out how to use this reel. I put everything on max and then adjusted my the settings so that the line drops just by letting the tension off. I would cast the line and it would fly into the water 2 feet in front of me. It didn't matter how much weight I had or how little. I will have to keep trying but testing other bait casters I was able to cast no problem. My guess is every bait caster is different.

Truly surprised at the quality and performance of this reel at this price point. Extremely smooth, much better than the name brand reel that I have used exclusively for decades with good communication through the reel itself which is wonderful. Lightweight, nice looking and was able to fine tune it in about six casts. No birdnests after about an hour of throwing. You will love the ability to oil the internal gears by removing one screw without having to open up the reel. 7-1 ratio proved to be an all around good balance for whatever bait you use. Well constructed low profile with long longer handles for additional power when needed. So far, very happy with this reel. Unable to comment on longevity yet but in hopes I will be able to wear it out!

So happy with this! Really light, balances well on rod, smooth rotor action and looks to quality. I bought the Lixada flame spin reel too and that is of equal quality and design. Really impressed with Lixada, high end products at a more than reasonable price. Don’t second doubt purchasing this, I’m so glad I chose it over a shimano alternative that was quadruple the price.

This Reel is Amazing for the price, I paired it with the Torrent Baitcast Rod and their performance is Fantastic! I caught a couple of 5Lbs. Large Mouth Bass with this reel with no problem at all. The Reel feels good in your hand, The Dragging never failed to me when fighting those 5 pounders, I was able to reel them almost to the tip of the rod!! LOL!! I seriously don't get the poor reviews for this Reel because to me it's one of the best reel for the money. I currently own couple of Revo's, Shimanos and Lew's but this Torrent reel is my buddy!!

I purchased this reel based on the need for a compact, level wind that I can use on ultralight trolling rods for trout. Out of the box, the fit and finish are amazing. I've been using higher priced reels and this one rates right up there with the best. On the water, it is smooth and the click/adjust drag is perfect for setting the drag to...click, click...just...click...right! The retrieve is fast, yet the radius of the handle allows you to finesse a determined fighter without the worry of pulling the hook. This reel is my new favorite and will get lots of use. I will try it out on the Silver Salmon this year when they arrive and will give a report then. Until then, you can't go wrong with this excellent reel.
