## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Truly Smooth
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014*

Best reel that I have ever used and the proof is the fact that in the past three days I have landed six beautiful salmon in the waters of the San Juan Islands.  The drag is sensitive but reliable, the grip on the handle fits my large fingers, the gear ratio is perfect for playing the fish before netting, and the tension necessary for trolling deep is there.  I highly recommend this reel to all my fishing colleagues in this area of Washington State.
