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 and re- oil it and change the line on the reel but I always re- oil my reels before using for the 1st time. I...

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.

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.

This reel is simply amazing! Finally got to use it for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed. Spooled it with 12lb fluorocarbon and tied on a 1/2oz. jig. Once I finally got it dialed in to my settings, everything from hard casts against the wind, to skipping docks, I had no issues with backlash at all. Very impressed with the casting distance I was getting and that DC sound!! It ’s like music to my ears. Definitely a must own. If you 're on the edge of buying this, just go and do it because you wo n't regret it. I now own two.

This reel is great. You need to read the paperwork that comes with it. It explains how it has to be set up in order for it to work as it should. For instance as the guy who posted a 2 star said he had the brake setting at 4 and the tension set to a slow fall. Is not how it should be set up. The directions state tension should be set looser than you would a non dc reel, to allow the dc to work correctly. You also need to use the correct brake setting for the type of line you are using. Granted you can cast without setting it up correctly it the dc wont function right. My honest opinion as someone who is intermediate/ newer to baitcasting( 2yrs) this reel is great for the cost and does what its supposed to do. However if your having issue it's probably user error and you should read the paperwork and try again. Then if you have issues it could be the reel. I 'm going to buy another one or I might buy the metanium dc. I love the sound too

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.

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.

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.

5
Mario D
I 've always been a Shimano go to for years, and always will be, but was looking for a 2000 light reel for jigging and Shimano just does not have it in this price range with a larger high gear for more torque. I was using a 2500 Ultegra but it's just too heavy for long days of jigging. Tried to use a Stradic 1000 and it works but feels underpowered and with 6lb it's not ideal. Been using the Tatula 2000 model for inshore jigging with 6lb line and I ca n't fault it jigging for 5- 6 hours non stop being so light. The only gripe is the handle has a tiny bit of play but nothing a shim ca n't resolve. I changed the handle to a black Titanium Gomexus with ceramic bearings and now it's perfect. I am critical of my reels and I have many including the 22 Stradic and Stella as well as other lower model Diawa's. This is an extraordinary reel in how it feels. The shaft feels that it's spinning on air when turning the handle, something my other reels do n't feel like. It's really an amazing feeling. The reel never has failed once in operation and is very light. Line management is excellent but need to add a washer to get the line lay to not taper on the top from how it came originally.

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.

Strong for its size. ... Very versatile& smooth retreive ... 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

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.

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

Recently purchased, didn ’ t have a lot of faith that it would work well but it definitely surprised me. I put 10lb braid on and was throwing a light spoon. This thing was able to handle an all out cast and went about 40 yards. I ’ m definitely going to be getting a lot more travel use out of this little thing then I thought.

Great rod for big catfish in the Ohio River. Superb casts from a boat or the bank; just hook them and reel them in.

I 've caught both catfish in freshwater and redfish is briny water with this setup. The best value out there.
A high gear ratio fishing reel is designed to retrieve line quickly, allowing anglers to reel in their catch more efficiently. This type of reel is particularly beneficial for techniques that require fast line retrieval, such as topwater fishing or when using lures that need to be moved quickly. The increased speed can also help in keeping tension on the fish during the fight, improving the chances of a successful catch.
High gear ratio reels are ideal for techniques that demand quick line retrieval, such as flipping, pitching, and topwater fishing. They are also effective for fast-moving lures and when fishing in situations where you need to quickly bring in your catch. Anglers often prefer these reels for targeting species that require swift action to entice strikes.
The gear ratio of a fishing reel indicates how many times the spool rotates with each turn of the handle. A higher gear ratio means more line is retrieved per handle turn, enhancing performance in fast-paced fishing scenarios. Conversely, lower gear ratios provide more torque, which can be beneficial for reeling in larger fish or when using heavier baits.
High gear ratio fishing reels are often constructed from lightweight yet durable materials such as aluminum, graphite, or composite materials. These materials help reduce the overall weight of the reel while maintaining strength and resistance to corrosion. Additionally, high-quality bearings and gears made from stainless steel or brass are frequently used to enhance performance and longevity.
While high gear ratio fishing reels excel in many environments, they are particularly advantageous in freshwater and saltwater applications where quick line retrieval is essential. However, for certain fishing techniques that require more power and control, such as deep-sea fishing or targeting larger species, a lower gear ratio reel may be more appropriate. It's important to match the reel's gear ratio with the specific fishing conditions and techniques being used.
