It sure felt and looked good.. too bad it would be better used as a sinker.

wow. very poor quality of metals used... that explains the price. Guess theold saying "dont judge a book by its cover" is true for this. It looked so good brand new, and after one small tuna.... ouch! A nice YFT would tear it up on the first run.

Probably a decent reel for Snapper or light bottom fishing. But wouldn't want one for Tuna, AJ, or Kingfish.

Yup this reel is POS

I'd send that sucker back to the company. Thats not suppose to happen especially being new and after only one black fin. That particular one had to be a flawed reel I would think or from a companies point, I would hope so. :-)

Welcome aboard Hog.

Shipping to Singapore will cost me $80 both ways, I guess I just have to use this reel as a sinker

Since SKR didn't get to use Tom's new reel from Colemans, guess we'll see how it fares on the GEM trip. Almost bought one and decided to go ahead and get a second San Diego Special from Avet. Can't wait to hear the results results.

Dang, I had high hopes for this reel. Hopefully it's an isolated thing.
