Review: I’ve been using bait cast reel for better than 30 years. This little reel has kept up with the most expensive reels I own. I now have 3. You do have to keep the bearings lubricated. 1 drops for every 3 trips and it will cast very smoothly. Highly recommend if you are just starting out with bait casting, easy to use. I taught my 11 year old grandson in less than 30 minutes, now he doesn’t use his spincast.
Review: Def way nice looking for the price. Good gear ratio.. i am having some sort of issue with the drag or spool tension i have to re adjust several times while out bank fishing for 1 hour.. seems good quality for the price.. but it reeled in a fish so it performs. Good palm size for me. Not too fast. We will see on the durability

*by B***J on 9 February 2025*

As good as any reel costing 2-3 times as much. Carbon fiber body, 18 SS bearings, 20lb drag, and all brass gears. I bought one of these 5 years ago under the name Shishamo. I’ve been looking to find another one and came across it here under the brand name Fishdrops. Same reel, same box, same everything. I’m an avid bass fisherman and have dozens of Diawa, Lews, Abu Garcia, and Shimano reels that I paid over $150-$200 for and this reel is just as good quality wise. If I had to compare it to anything specific, I’d say it’s very similar to the BPS Johnny Morris Signature Series reel ($200). Don’t let the generic name fool you. This reel is solid as a tank. Be sure to lube the bearings when you get it.
