It is the reel handle that broke… and for that to break you have to apply a ridiculous amount of pressure to the handle while the bail was in a position where it could not be turned easily. Example if I am fighting a fish I would normally pull the rod tip up and reel in the slack as I drop the rod tip… I would never crank against a fighting fish…. That appears to have happened here. I do not contest that fin-nor may have had a problem with some of their reels but if we are going to give an item bad press then we should do it rightfully…. My only complaint with the reel is the weight. I have used this reel for Tuna, Wahoo… and the big others…once again you will need a arm for 0S95… as the weight of the others are pretty much in line with the staple. I think for the price, this reel offers performance at a unbeatable price. That my 2 cents
