Having read reviews for this reel, and the fact I wanted to try a smaller one of this type I felt this was the one to get. Its neat, very well made, very smooth, and a lot less clumpy than the usual bait runners I've tried. The free spool feature you can really get to be very loose which even the most cautious bites will be hard pressed to feel. All in all a great little reel at a great price.

This is my first Shimano reel and on my firs...t days fishing with it I realised I been missing out on excellent reels, it worked a dream. I caught 15 carp between 4 and 10lb and reel handled them with no problems, it is a very well made tool.

A great little reel ideal for the bream,tench,small carp on the fe...eder as an example my third and i cannot fault it.It has anti-reverse which is very handy when playing that unexpected bigger fish and you want more control. Recommended.

I'm far from being a match angler, I just sit on the bank enjoying bei...ng outside, but this reel suits me very well. I've got two now paired with two Shimano 10ft rods and they make for a very pleasurable session. Well made, very smooth and for the money I think they're terrific value.
