Pros
- Ambidextrous reel – works for right and left hand
- Easy drag set
- Smooth retrieval
- Very reasonably priced
Cons
- There have been cases of the bail arm being tight when first being used
- The reels are pretty heavy for casting lures and holding the rod all day long, but if you plan on making a cast and putting the pole in a sandspike, then that is not a problem whatsoever.
