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.

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 highly recommend this reel for the price. I restrung this reel with 65 lb braid and it's held up great but always back it with good mono line.

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.

Got this a few weeks ago and only used it a couple of times but it sure beats all my old baitcasters I have! Drag and brake are easy to set and use. Retrieve ratio is perfect for my needs and it's pretty rugged. Kastking seems to be best bang for the buck compared to other brands.

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.

Great reels. I have 2 and am shopping for another. Wo n't buy it here because they do not have the higher gear ratio in the left hand retrieve model. Only 4 stars because it comes with combat grips instead of Winn knobs. But, I have swapped the combat grips for Winn round knobs. I even contacted Lew's and was able to get black and gold end caps for the knobs. I have one on a TP1 Black and the other on a Custom Lite. The reels cast great, the retrieve is smooth, and they are strong. And, they look good too. Get one today.

JohnnyH1889
I bought this for an upcoming fishing trip and the location changed from freshwater lake fishing to saltwater coastal fishing. Although it is not a dedicated saltwater reel the stainless steel bearings should hold up. I just need to be careful not to drop it too many times in the sand. We all know how brutal saltwater can be on fishing tackle it up a little heavy because I had 30lb braid on hand. This thing rocks! Pretty much any I wanted to and reeling in was super smooth and effortless. The drag was very easy to adjust and worked as described. The reel is super lightweight especially with the carbon fiber handle and will definitely help keeping from getting fatigued on long days of fishing.

JH56
bought this new reel last week and am impressed with the overall quality. The fit and finish are excellent. I spooled it up with 20 lb braid( 6 lb equivalent mono) and it spooled nicely. There is a section in the middle of the spool to keep the line from sliding which is a nice feature. I made some test casts with it and it cast very smoothly and very long. The reel itself is very smooth and quiet with the 10+1 ball bearings. The drag also seems very smooth even when tightened down substantially further than I 'll probably need. This will now be my go to spinning reel. Excellent quality.
5
JohnH89
I bought this for an upcoming trip but right after I submitted the order the destination was changed from freshwater to salt water! Anyone that has fished salt knows how brutal it can be on tackle gear! While this is not a dedicated salt reel it is sealed and has stainless gears so it should hold up just fine. however I might be a little careful when fishing from shore because the sand has a way of getting into everything, and this is such a great reel. I spooled it a little heavier than suggested but I only had 30lb braid on hand but this reel was super accurate with test casts, putting my rig right where I wanted to go, and even while paired with a shorter rod, I was able to cast further than with other combos I have. Reeling in was effortless and had super quick gears, plus this reel is light weight, I could see fishing all day with it without the normal fatigue from heavier, more sluggish reels. I ca n't wait to put this into action because this reel is `` PRO '' all the way

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.

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.

I caught a fish on my second cast and anticipate catching many more in the future.

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. ... 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

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.

The level wind mechanism is easy to remove if added casting distance is required, as well as adding a mono- mag for even better casting control than the supplied spool

We have a couple of these on hand on Fenwick Eagles with 20# braid. Good fluke and sea bass reel. Just make sure you wash it down, not saltwater sealed that well.

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!

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.

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.

I use lightweight braided Spiderwire on all of my reels and have had next to no back lash, to include casting into a strong wind, thanks to the amazing cast control paired on this

I bought this reel( 2500 size) and paired it with a Lew's Custom Pro Speed Stick( got in on sale for$ 90) and am using with 8 lb test fluoro. I use this set up for lightweight and finesse type fishing such as skipping senkos under docks, drop shot fishing or throwing weightless texas rigs around. Will say this reel feels really smooth and can cast a great distance without much weight. Skipping under docks is way easier with this reel also because of how smooth it is. It is definitely an upgrade from the Lew's Mach Crush spinning combo and the Lew's Mach 2 spinning combo I have. My dad is trying to get back into fishing and plan to buy him this as his first reel as well. Definitely recommend.

I have been impressed by its really smooth drag, landed a kingfish last month it was 105 cm, and 16 kilos ... Great casting and super smooth drag. ... THE MAG IS MORE THAN POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR ME, ALMOST TOO
When searching for a strong fishing reel, consider features such as the drag system, gear ratio, and construction materials. A high-quality drag system ensures smooth line release under pressure, while an appropriate gear ratio can enhance retrieval speed. Additionally, reels made from durable materials like aluminum or graphite can withstand the rigors of fishing in various environments.
Choosing the right size of a fishing reel depends on the type of fishing you plan to do and the species you aim to catch. Generally, larger reels are better suited for bigger fish and saltwater fishing, while smaller reels are ideal for freshwater and smaller species. It's important to match the reel size with the rod and line to ensure optimal performance.
Strong and durable fishing reels typically include baitcasting, spinning, and fly reels, each designed for specific fishing techniques. Baitcasting reels offer precision and control for larger fish, while spinning reels are versatile and user-friendly for various fishing styles. Fly reels are designed for fly fishing and must be robust to handle the unique demands of this technique.
The drag system in a fishing reel is crucial as it controls the amount of resistance a fish feels when pulling on the line. A well-functioning drag system allows for smooth line release, preventing breakage during a fight with a fish. Strong drag systems can handle larger fish and provide anglers with better control during the catch.
Yes, a strong fishing reel can often be used for various types of fishing, depending on its design and specifications. Many anglers prefer versatile reels that can handle both freshwater and saltwater conditions, as well as different fishing techniques. However, it's essential to ensure that the reel is appropriately matched with the rod and line for the specific fishing scenario.
