I really like these reels so far. I got 3 of the 60’s l ft hand retrieve. I putt 30ib barley big game mono on it and it casts and reels very smooth. I’m new to baitcasters and have no problems whatsoever casting unless I hit a tree. With 2-3 oz sinkers and 30ib mono I can cast really far. Thumb on spool slightly when the bait first takes off and then just let it fly till it hits the water and stop it. Used them on 3 different occasions already still doing good. I’ve caught about 12 channels and 1 flathead cat. The flathead it was like reeling in a bluegill. I did get snagged and wrapped the line around the counter eight of the reel handle and the line sheared the weight right off. So I suggest wrap your line around a stick or players or something when pulling snags loose. I will update again after I catch more and bigger fish. Very nice product

Great Value, Smooth Casting, Durable. I wouldn't buy anything else moving forward.

This is a value priced baitcaster. I have three of them and one already started acting up less than a year after purchase. We use them very often...several times a month all year round...so more than a lot of reels get used on average. The reel is smooth and the drag is good...initially. They cast well with 30lb mono and have handled some decent sized fish up to 45lbs. I would say if you used a reel two or three times a year and was not terribly hard on your equipment, it's a pretty good deal. They are very valued priced and easy to replace. If you were dipping your toe into the baitcaster pool this would be a good reel to check and see if you like this style of reel. If you were going to buy a reel to teach a beginner the ins and outs of a baitcaster, also this is a good reel for that. The function is good as is the performance...they just don't see to hold up very well and the quality control seems spotty. Bottom line is that it is a cheap reel that functions very well within the parameters I have stated. When you get it, you will be impressed. It is only over time and use does the weak points start to show. I still have two in use...one about 16 months old and they perform OK. You get what you pay for. If you have been using ABUs, these are not a replacement. No matter what you read or what you see on You Tube. For the money, buy a used ABU and get it serviced or clean it and lube it yourself. You may spend a bit more, but you will be happier in the long term.

This is the second reel I have purchased both reels are good quality and a decent price. I liked the first one so much it made it easy to pick up a second one. I use this reel for trolling and have no complaints

High quality and tremdous value. Purchased it to use while fishing at local Markland Dam on the Ohio and it works beautifully. Once dialed in it casts 75 plus easy. Haven't been able to land a 15 lb plus blue or flathead with it but only had it out one day. So happy with it I plan to buy a few more next week!

Casts smooth, make sure you adjust the spool release knob pretty tight since it doesn’t have a break knob.I also like the noise level of the bait clicker and ease of turning it on and off.First reel like this and I’m hooked on these over the other style baitcasters.If you want distance this one is capable of a pretty serious lob. 👍

I now have 3 of these xs50’s. Very good casting, smooth operation. Very nice especially for the price. I will buying more as my rod collection grows

Very impressed with quality and overall fishability of this reel. It would stand up in performance and quality to any top-of-the-line name brand reel. Highly recommend. Love that it has a built-in bait clicker.

Feels smooth and seems to operate well.

Excellent fast delivery good quality better than I expected ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
