Simple Fun and Function
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who loves fishing. It truly simplifies casting for anyone, especially easy to use. It is a light weight and not intended for heavy game fishing, but for panfish, small trout, or any fish less than 4 lbs it will perform well. Be sure that the drag is not set overly tight. It certainly is not designed to perform like an expensive reel, but for the price, the kids will have hundreds of dollars worth of fun.Read full review

Short Life
I have used these little reels for years, but the quality of the material is getting cheaper. They have a short lifespan and if used a lot will wear out pretty quickly. I recently purchased 2 of the reels and the pickup pin broke on the 2nd day of use on one of them and had to be returned.Read full review

Daiwa reel
Just as expected. Compact, lightweight and smooth action. Pre wound with line. Easily converted from left to right hand retrieve. Very happy. Caught some nice bass with it already. Thanks.

Smooth casting,retrieval
For those that want a closed faced under-spin reel, this is the one. At first I bought just one but after using it a few times I went back and bought two more. This reel is very smooth on casting and retrieval allowing you to focus on where the action is.Read full review

Easiest Reel To Use
Great reel. Smooth and easy to cast. I have the Diawa Underspin XD-40 and liked it so much I had to putrchse the next size up. Easier to use than either the spinning, spincast, or baitcast models.

Don’t let the name fool you
Smooth as a pepper mill. Fells like it has rocks for bearings. Line balls up between spool and pickup. The worst reel I have ever used.

Replacement
We’ve had one of these on a lightweight rod, we used for crappie, for years. Some how one of the nuts came off of the one we had and he couldn’t find a replacement part. So I just ordered him a new one. It works, just as you would expected.Read full review

Line
I really like the reel but I didn't like the line that came on it. I put #5 Maxima Ultragreen on it and it works great.
