Without breaking the bank, this has shown to be a very smooth reel with an excellent drag. ... Super reel!!! ... Bought this reel for a black Friday event in 2018 and have used this reel on an ugly stick catfish rod and I 'm very impressed with it. The only things I had to do is break the reel down...

Great product for the money. No issues with jamming so far. Casts well and the clicker is great. If money is no object than get yourself a catfish series Abu, if money is tight this reel will work well if you are familiar with using baitcasting reels. If you 're going for bigger cats you might consider changing the line.

I bought this reel used it a few times went back and bought another. So far I have no complaints. I have caught several 10plus pounds cAtfish with even a couple exceeding the 30 lbs mark had no issue at all pulling them in..

5 Shawn215
I bought this reel almost two weeks ago To fish for stripers, catfish, and carp. The reel is built well and not made of cheap materials, the casting and retrieving are super smooth. You could use this reel with or without the bait feeder feature, but if ur bottom fishing this is a great feature to have and use. This is my first bait feeder I owned and I ’ m overall impressed, Okuma makes great products and I will be purchasing another of the same reel.

5 WxguyinFL
I bought this last month to replace a reel that froze up. I did curbside pickup at the Bradenton FL location. Very easy transaction. I caught some nice fish off the beach with it!

5
Got to use this immediately on a recent trip to the beach. Not to heavy and bulky like my other reels. Smooth retrieve. Only caught small fish so the bait feeder system disnt really come into play but boy is it a cool feature. Look forward to using it for fall striper fishing!

5 Fish hunt and shoot NJ
I now have 3 Okuma reels in this type. Without the baitrunner feature its great., But with it, its excellent. It's great for live bait fishing or as a downrigger Reel.

5 Catchermen
Have caught many fish, very versatile with lures and a definite plus for kids learning to use live bait. Just turn the handle and it goes to the 2nd drag after hook set.

I just got this in the mail today and went fishing. Very high quality, great feel, amazing speed, and great looking as well. Only thing that was wrong was that it shows the color in black and gold but it came in red and black. I ’ m not really upset but I am very impressed with this reel itself!

5 Jaime__I
I 'm still working on my skills with baitcasting reels. This Megajaws is the other side of the coin compared with me other reels. It is compact, light and well finished. It help me a to work on the precision instead of worrying about getting bird nests.

5 Jared S
I have been very familiar with their fishing products since purchasing my first tackle bag from them about five years ago. They have yet to dissapoint. I have owned the standard MegaJaws reel and this one well surpasses it.

5 JJOmazing
I just ordered this reel last week and wanted to provide a detailed review of my recent purchase. Just as another reviewer shared, it is advertised as black, but my reel was a vibrant red. I spooled it with a 10lb braid and cast it with soft plastics with a 1oz weight. I set the tension so the lure just barely dropped from the end of the rod, then set the drag to 5/10. There are micro- adjust settings between the typical settings, meaning 0. 5 increments are possible. Once casting, wow, this thing can really send the bait pretty far. I would estimate I was regularly getting 35- 40yard casts on a relatively lightweight lure. Plus I was able to drop it the lure exactly where I wanted it to go. The reel is pretty typical size in the hand when palming. I would say its not the biggest or smallest, but it was comfortable to use. There is another switch on the back of the reel that changes the reel function to allow for flipping and pitching. I 've never seen this before on a reel and typically just used my thumb on the spool. When this is activated, you press the button holding it during the flip and let- go when you want the line to stop advancing. It took a few tries to get used to, but is still very intuitive to use. If you forget to switch it back when going back to do a normal long cast, it can be a surprise. However, I think it is a nice feature. I was able to catch some bass as a local pond with it and the drag was very smooth. There are a lot of bearings on this reel, box says 11+1, and it feels like it. I have multiple bait- casters, including some other higher end models, and this MegaJaws Elite reel fits right along side the others.

It has 20 brake settings and it casts awesome. Get this one....

I ran across one a few weeks back. I have to say it is a very smooth reel! These Abu Sweden made models are solid! Smoother cast then anything I have used before. Last year I cheaped out and regretted it. Hope to catch some big fish this year! Definitely worth the price!

5 call2die4
So far so good for a first time baitcaster user. Have had couple of nest when I forgot to put my thumb on the line but after adjusting brake at every sinker change and holding thumb on the line when casting and a few fishing trips everything has been good. Very solid reel but still waiting on catching that big flattie for the true test.

5 Ryan_w212
I bought the 3000 size reel to do some bass fishing and inshore and it's been performing great. The other day I hooked into a massive red in a pond and it ran straight for open water, taking out about 120 yds of line. I was worried about being spooled, but thankfully this drag stack had my back and I was able to fine tune it in order to put just enough pressure to control the fish and not break off.

5 ZW810

5 Pescador
I bought this reel about 2 months ago and so far, it's done great! I bought this reel for saltwater use and it has held up fine. I 've caught everything from edge of slot puppy drum off the beach to small specks and striper in the sound. I can happily report that thus far, I have had no problems with the unsealed drag. As far as the drag's performance, it could n't work better. the drag knob is easy to adjust while playing a fish and has a nice clicky- ness to it so you do n't over adjust it. I did get a little sand in there while fishing from the beach, but after removing the spool and giving it a thorough rinse it works like new. My few complaints are rather petty. The first being that the finish seems to come off fairly easily. while having it in the canoe with me it was sliding around and the matte black finish rubbed off a bit around the rim. however, it's hardly noticeable and only cosmetic. Secondly, the rubbery handle occasionally catches the fly line when I 'm casting. It juts out a bit more than I care for.

Left hand wind is a must for me. I am right handed but never figured out why so many people choose to cast with their right hand and then switch hands so they can wind with their right hand. The size and weight are also just right as I mainly fish for striped bass and blue catfish with this reel perfect on a seven foot medium action rod and 15 lb. test mono. I caught a fish on my second cast and anticipate catching many more in the future.

5 Salmon King
I purchased this reel primarily for the size. I like a big reel for the grip and significant ease in retrieval when I have a real angry 25- 30 lb salmon fighting me. Summation, I bank fish 75% of the time. Overall, a nice, smooth, and great casting reel. I am going to give this a shot on steelhead soon. Ya it's like towing a 2 door Nissan car using a Semi truck. Due to its size it takes just a pinch of time to dial the reel in to cast& retreive. Compared to my Okuma Ceymar C65 the Penn is just a bit better in my very large hands. I am going to buy the Penn Penn Battle III BTL II 8000 in a week. Any suggestions are welcome.

4 CMJ0129
Good, lightweight and strong reel in the 3000 to 4000 size. The slow oscillation level line feature lays braided line on the spool very evenly and makes it great for long casting. Pair with a medium to moderate 6' 8 '' to 7' 6 '' inshore rod with micro- guides and you have a lightweight, sensitive, long casting setup! I have a 3000 size on a custom 7' 2 '' Rod Geek carbon blank( St Croix) with MicroWave guides. The price is steep for this reel but Penn stands behind their gear and with proper care, will last a lifetime. If it were at a better price for what's under the hood, I 'd rate it 5 of 5 stars

I bough this to replace an old Diawa I had of the same nature. The Diawa lasted me over 30 years so I am curious what this can do. I would n't expect to be able to pull anything big with this but that's not really what its made for. Hoping to use it more for small brooks and trout fishing. So far its work flawlessly on 4 trips

I bought it to go on a cheap rod for one of the kids. It worked great and had no issues, unlike some of the open, more expensive reels we used.

Works great right out of the box. Smooth casting and reeling.

We have a pair of these in the rocket tubes for Northeast striper fishing. They are on Ugly Stik 6. 5' Tiger Elites. The reel is strong, big crank, the level winder is strong enough for 40# plus stripers and its one less thing to worry about when you are hooked up with a big bass. Plenty of drag and they hold a lot of braid( we use 30 pound Spiderwire). Just make sure you wash them well, they are not saltwater sealed as good as others. Not a lot of bearings but smooth and tough.

I bought the reel for my back up rod. I 've used to several times just to see how it fits in. Cases well, holds like me tight.

5 Bluegill addict
This reel was purchased for use on an ice fishing rod. It was purchased too late in the season to be tested but I have over 40 years experience with Daiwa Reels and Rods so there is little doubt it will live up to the Daiwa repuration. It is very smooth reeling and fits and feels perfect on the Berkley ice rod.

I bought the BG 4000 as a Black Gold combo with the Daiwa rod and it is an amazingly smooth reel to cast and retrieve. Fully equivalent to my Stradic FK. Highly recommend for bass or bigger.

By far one of my favorite saltwater reels. I own three of the BG series reels and I absolutely love them. Super smooth retrieves and very well built.

The optionality when buying this reel, makes it potentially perfect for a variety of use cases. Personally I use it for heavy casting and really like the spool, gearing options, and crank choice. Smooth, light for its size, and priced accordingly. Yet to disappoint and will update after about a year of use should things change or if maintenance is somehow problematic — not anticipating that.

Baitcasting reels offer precision and control, spinning reels are versatile and user-friendly, while fly reels are designed specifically for fly fishing.

The material of an angler reel can impact its durability, weight, and corrosion resistance. Common materials include aluminum, graphite, and stainless steel, each offering different benefits. For instance, aluminum reels tend to be more robust, while graphite reels are lighter and often more affordable, making them suitable for various fishing styles.

High-quality angler reels typically feature a smooth drag system, durable construction, and a reliable gear mechanism.
