SeaknightRapid Saltwater Spinning Reel, 4.7:1,6.2:1 High Speed, Max Drag 33Lbs, Smooth Fresh and Saltwater Fishing Reel

My first 2 reviews deleted due to 100 character limitUPDATE....I have upgraded my rating. Have been using this sub 40$ reel for couple months now. Not kidding, paired with my Gator tail, its my go to all around salt water rig. Still is smooth as glass. I really dont believe it myself, but thinking of pairing a new one with a St Croix MOJO 9 ft MM Fast. Think it would be a perfect rig.UPDATE... I own two of these. I admit i have changed my surf fishing rig to Bait Runners. But both reels i own work perfect. Advice. if you are not a person that can trouble shoot an issue with a fishing reel. Buy a 150$ reel. if you spend less, might need some work on your end. I have read negative reviews on this product. If you cant check proper drag washer order. Very common issue with lower priced reels. Dont buy one. I have pushed these reels to the point I believed it would break, burn up drag. And still works. Pictures i posted are reel...lol Funny right....You not gonna get Shamino Saragosa feel at $40.Update. 5/2021 I now own 2 Sea Knight 6000 reals. If Sea Knight made a 6000 bait runner. Shamino would be in trouble. Both show ZERO corrosion. Work and look new. One a little smother than other. This is the reel that I keep in my truck on 6ft pole 24/7. Works perfect. My opinion, its the best non Bait Runner sub 40$ reel on market. HEY SEA KNIGHT / MAKE A BAIT RUNNER / WILL OWN MARKIT. G

I normally use baitcasters but I needed a spinning reel to cast lighter lures that baitcasters have difficulty casting. Originally, I was looking at the pflueger presidential reel but didn't want to spend that much on a reel i may not use too often. I opted for the Seaknight Rapid 2000 H spinning reel for my light weight setup. The line guide has a nice design to it, allowing the line to easily spool after casting.No line twist, and the distance I can cast with a 5 inch worm is pretty good for spinning reel. I have it spooled with 10 lb braided line and a 2/0 hook. It took me a little bit to get accurate but now i have the release timing down to allow for more accurate cast. Another thing about this reel that was appealing is the higher gear ratio and smooth spinning from the ball bearings. The drag had no issues pulling in a largemouth bass, small one however, but that's why i got the 2000 size reel.Before spooling any line on it, I opened up the reel, it was already greased, which saved me from doing it. I definitely recommend the reel over other store bought ones for the price, you are getting more.

So far, seems like a good value reel for the average fisherman who takes care of their equipment. This reel has held up well in inshore saltwater fishing conditions so far, and has had no issues reeling in 5-25 lb saltwater fish. The only reason that it’s not 5 stars is that the bail will sometimes have trouble staying open when trying to cast.

I bought this reel last spring but never used it until yesterday. I paired it with an appropriate weight Kast King rod!Yesterday I went fishing at a fishing pier in the Gulf of Mexico and I hooked a monster fish!! I was using a size 1 hook, a short wire leader, a weight , and a pin fish.I fought this fish for 30 minutes fully expecting to have my line broken or worse. Oh yeah I was using braided line fortunately.My point is this reel and rod amazed me in how well it handled this huge fish!! Drag worked perfectly, fish pulled an out line, I pulled line back in, etc. until I finally got it up to the bottom of the pier where I learned I had just caught a huge sting ray!!I am very impressed with this rod and reel for the quality at a reasonable price!!!!Tight lines!!

Good

I only used this reel a handful of times before it locked up and broke beyond repair. And of course I had a fish on with maybe 100yards of line out when it happened.First it was just stuck solid. Then after a little tapping and wiggling the handle it would turn, but with a lot of resistance. Then I felt the snap. I knew half the teeth must have come off a gear because it would reel smooth, then slip, reel, then slip. I lost the fish, limped through reeling in all that line and my fishing day was over.To satisfy my curiosity I opened it up, and sure enough half the teeth had sheered right off that main gear. There was no sand, dirt or rust. Everything looked well lubricated. Something internal simply got jammed.I've bought dozens of cheap reels and even the worst ones are at least functional for years. I'd only had this one a couple months, maybe half a dozen fishing trips and it's completely broken.

Not sure what's going on with this, but after not using this reel for a few months there seemed to be no drag available regardless of how much I tensioned. This resolved itself over the course of an hour or so, but overall, the tension isn't great.

Great quality for the price. Have used it for a year now with out the issue. I will be buying more
