I bought the reel for my Redtruck switch rod and I love it. It’s smooth operation and has the brakes to hold big fish from running away.

I have caught perch , small mouth bass on Great Lake Sacandaga , golf course large mouth , and stripped bass under the Chesapeake bay bridge at Sandy point State Park with this reel. Super smooth feel , easy to get back on the reel , never had a problem after dumping it in dirt on the brackish banks or sand , I pretty much beat it to death . I love this thing and it keeps performing flawlessly after my 5 years of abuse . Two thumbs up for sure , much better feel , look and performance than my Orvis , and the line release and retrieve is freakin awesome .
