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.

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.

Have been using my `` Made in Sweden '' Ambassadeur S. I. X. for something like 20 years, fishing freshwater for anything up to Lake Ontario Salmon to Saltwater Plugging for Bluefish, Striped Bass and Wahoo from boat off NJ coast. `` BEST '' fishing reel ever made! During all these years of catching fish up to 30 pounds, it has never let me down. Just got another Rod for largemouth Bass and beach fishing in the Gulf, so it needs a good reel. Just hope the made in China reels have the same superb workmanship and Longevity of my S. I. X.

In my opinion this is one of the best round reels u can get for the price point. Mostly use for catfish but can ’ t wait to try for some big stripers and maybe even some Muskie

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 love this reel. Using 12lb fluorocarbon on it and it casts perfectly once you get the breaking set up. The size is perfect. I even prefer this reel over my Daiwa Tatula 100. The only down side is that it does feel like cheaper plastic, but I ’ ve been using it nearly every day with no issues so far.

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.

I use this real for bass fishing. Mainly crank baits. smooth when reeling in. No backlashes when adjusted properly. Strong but light weight. Can use braided line which I use on this reel. I ’ m planning on buying another one of these reels for my brother. He will love it as I do.

This reel feels amazing in my hands. It truly is palm perfect and so light with the power you need to get the bass in. This is my new favorite and it looks awesome too.

For context, I have been baitcasting for about two years now, but because I did n't know I would like it, I originally bought a cheap walmart reel. I traditionally liked spin casting. But with the weather getting warmer where I live, I decided it was time to upgrade.. enter Kastking! I love their products because they provide such great value( they are not always the cheapest, but for their price, I have never been disappointed with the quality). So, why this reel? with 11+1 BBS, this thing retrieves like a top. It is incredibly smooth. I am still somewhat new to understanding how gear ratio affects casting with different baits, but everything I have used casts extremely easily, and it has opened opportunities for me to try different baits. I am a big fan of the Texas rig, but I am moving into lighter baits, which this reel makes much easier. Now, every newer bait caster worries about nesting, but the dual braking system alleviated a lot of my concerns. It has made me much more confident about trying different cast methods. I also love that it is light and solid. My old reel weighed considerably more and felt more like a piece of garbage, this reel feels strong and like it should last a long time if I take care of it. It just feels premium in your hand. It was a great buy!

I have had this reel about a week, I am really happy with it. I love the color with just a little hint of purple on the metal. It ’s the perfect size to fit in your hand and light as a feather. After adjusting the reel the amb backlash system works great. It casts a mile and is as smooth as butter with the 11+1 bbs. The gear ratio is a nice for both worm and lure fishing. The drag is easy to adjust and works great. I have many reels of all kinds and makes and this is a home run. This will be my reel of choice from now on.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Round baitcasting reels are known for their high line capacity and durability, making them ideal for targeting larger fish species. They provide better control over heavy lines and lures, which can enhance your fishing experience. Additionally, their design allows for smooth casting and retrieval, making them suitable for various fishing techniques.
When selecting a round baitcasting reel, consider factors such as gear ratio, line capacity, and drag system. Think about the type of fishing you will be doing, whether it's freshwater or saltwater, and the size of the fish you aim to catch. It's also important to assess your skill level, as some reels may be more user-friendly than others.
Round baitcasting reels are typically constructed from materials like aluminum and graphite, which provide a balance of strength and weight. High-quality models may feature corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand harsh environments, especially in saltwater fishing. The choice of materials can impact the reel's durability and overall performance.
While round baitcasting reels can be used by beginners, they may require some practice to master casting techniques. Their design offers advantages for experienced anglers, but beginners might find low-profile baitcasting reels easier to handle. It's advisable for new users to start with a reel that matches their skill level and gradually transition to round models as they gain confidence.
Round baitcasting reels are versatile and can be used for various fishing techniques, including trolling, bottom fishing, and casting large lures. Their high line capacity makes them particularly effective for targeting larger fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Depending on the setup, they can also be used for techniques that require precise control over line retrieval.
