Would of given 5 star but im a novice fisherman so 4.5 stars it is. Used this reel for 6 hours and had no problems with it. Reels in smooth and at a good pace. Color looks good in person aswell

This reel is a gorgeous addition to my white fishing pole, it feels great and spins smoothly! I am excited to try it out!

Shipping was great and it’s a great quality reel

I've used this reel (size 2000) now for about 6 months and have caught well over 100+ fish with it (mostly LMB), and I'm quite impressed. I have it paired with a G. Loomis GL3 medium fast spinning rod and 12# braid. Overall, it works great and looks great. The casts are long and the retrieve is smooth. Couldn't ask for more from a reel at this price point. I would buy again.

I love these reels!!! I purchased 3 of these about 3 years ago and they have caught some nice fish and still cast and reel great. I like them even better than my pflueger president reels that I have. Was changing out a different reel recently so I purchased this again and let me tell you, these are totally worth the money. As long as they keep selling, I'll keep buying!

I just received the Akataka 4000 fishing reel, and I am quite pleased with the manufacturing workmanship of this product. As they advertise about the smoothness of the bearing motion - I find that the reel does spin very smoothly, and there is no backward play with the rotating rotor. The bail works very smoothly when you manually open it, and snaps shut when you immediately turn the crank handle. I am very satisfy with my purchase, and for the low price compare to the expensive name brand, this reel is a good buy.

What a steal for the price. I was kinda hesitant when buying this for the price, but I'm very satisfied with this reel. It's smooth on the cast and when paired with some braid you can really maximize your cast distance. It also looks awesome I went with the 2000 series on a medium action rod and I don't have anything but good performance from this Budget reel.

This was a lightning deal. The last thing I really need is another reel but it's difficult to pass up a good deal so I thought I'd try my luck. Cranking the handle felt so smooth with little to no play. Some reels the handle has some wiggle to it, back and forth, where it connects to the main body of the reel, the Akataka didn't have any. Because I reel with my left hand I had to switch it to the other side. Like every other reel I've owned you just unscrew the cap and swap it around. There is a plastic bushing/piece that didn't stay attached to the screw and it took me a few minutes to figure out why I couldn't get the hand into the other side. I ended up putting a small screwdriver into it and took it out, put it back on the screw and re-assembled it.I would like some extra spools for different lines, that would be really great. Overall I really like the reel I received and may get a 2000 for my ultralight rods.
