I bought it last night, i got it spool with 15 pound pline flouro, set the tension knob were the lure falls slow big key to prevent backlash cast it with 12 mph wind towards my face for 3 hours not one single backlash. Do not listen to the manual on how to set the tension knob. Smooth retrieve compare to the regular slx you guys will notice that.

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 am fairly new using a bait caster but the one I had was left handed and I ’ m a righty so I need a new one. I had read the reviews on this reel and although a little more expensive than I had planned on, once I held it I knew it was right. Everything from spooling it up to setting the brakes and the tension was so easy. I highly recommend this reel.

Thefisherman64
I made a decision to purchase this reel because they were on sale. I am a Shimano guy. I bought one and put it on my most abused application. 65 pound braid. On my frog rod. One year later I purchased 2 more due to apparent toughness of the first. Put them on my second and third most used rods. Fast forward two more years, I have replaced all of my Shimano reels. And do n't expect to look back. Cost is 30 to 40 percent lower than the Shimano reels. Thank you for making the choice to keep these reels in an affordable price.

It's sensitive, so I 'd make sure you work the brake up slowly if you 're new to baitcasters. But once it's dialed it, man, it is awesome. Good length and good accuracy.

This is a great real for your medium heavy swim baits. I have it pulled up with £20 fluorocarbon and it is a super smooth cast.. I wouldn ’ t expect anything less from Shimano. The breaking system could be easier to dial on the water, but once you have it set you ’ re good to go.. if you ’ re tossing anything from a 2 to 6 or even 8 ounce swim bait I would highly recommend this reel.

This KastKing BFS reel is unbelievably lightweight and feels incredibly luxurious. The finish looks amazing and the gears feel smooth. It can cast small baits into the distance. The carbon fiber handles and grips do run small but overall great reel.

I 'm glad I chose this reel as my first Bait caster reel! Easy to learn and it casts tiny jigs during the early spring bite.

This is my first BFS baitcasting reel, and it lives up to the promises of being able to cast lighter baits further. It certainly works better once dialed in properly, but as a relative novice on casting reels I was able to get near optimal settings within a two attempts and was matching my casting distances compared to a spinning reel. The gear ratio makes for a faster retrieve, and the overall weight is very light when paired with an ultralight rod. I will still keep a spinning reel for when I want to drop a bait to a certain depth since that is easy to measure by counting turns on the reel, but for all other finesse applications I will most likely be using this reel in the future.

This reel is a prime example of when engineering meets functionality. Its extremely lightweight, sleek and has excellent adjustments for precision casting. It also solves the problem of being able to throw light lures a long way so you can put your lures in the strike zone without getting too close and spooking the fish. The reel action and drag are both exceptionally smooth and the ergonomics are fantastic even for those with slightly larger hands. This reel will remain a favorite in my fishing arsenal for foreseeable future.

Abu Garcia has released two of these “ budget ” combos in recent years, bearing the same name but the combos are much different. This current model sports a digital camo look, with a sleek flat black reel and solid rod. If you ’ re a fan of their Vengeance combo, this one will be a favorite as it ’s the same reel design reskinned for the Jordan Lee branding. It ’s not as low profile as the original Joran Lee combo was but it ’s still a solid workhorse for the money.

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.

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.

Dual brake baitcasting reels offer enhanced control and precision when casting, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced anglers. The combination of magnetic and centrifugal braking systems allows for better adjustment to various fishing conditions, reducing the risk of backlash. This versatility helps in achieving longer and more accurate casts.
Dual brake baitcasting reels are versatile and can be used for various fishing styles, including freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are particularly effective for techniques that require precise casting, such as flipping, pitching, and topwater fishing. Their ability to handle heavier lines and lures also makes them suitable for targeting larger species.
The braking system in a dual brake baitcasting reel combines two different mechanisms: centrifugal and magnetic brakes. The centrifugal brakes engage during the cast to slow down the spool's rotation, while the magnetic brakes provide additional control to fine-tune the casting distance and prevent backlash. This dual approach allows for greater adaptability to different fishing scenarios.
When selecting a dual brake baitcasting reel, consider factors such as gear ratio, line capacity, and overall weight. It's also important to evaluate the braking system's adjustability, as this will affect your casting performance. Additionally, look for features like ergonomic handles and durable materials that enhance comfort and longevity during use.
Yes, dual brake baitcasting reels can be suitable for beginners due to their adjustable braking systems that help prevent backlash. The ease of fine-tuning the brakes allows new anglers to gain confidence in their casting skills without the frustration of frequent tangles. However, it is still beneficial for beginners to practice and familiarize themselves with the mechanics of baitcasting.
