"I believe this product goes along the lines of "You get what you pay for". Yes there are better baitcasters out there and you pay for it. For $50 bucks this is a decent reel I think. It cast smooth and is quiet when reeling in your line. Have used it on about a dozen fishing trips and no troubles to report."
