Review: Are looking for a Sage on a beer budget, you found it! - I fly fish about ten days a month. I’m afraid to use my Sage’s because they are so expensive and I’m usually fishing out of a boat these max catch rods are just unbelievable for the money the combos are set up amazingly well great fly line wait forward that sail’s.
Review: Really nice prespooled reel for the price. - I paired this 3/4 weight reel with a Fenwick World Class 6-piece, 8-ft rod and it balances very well. I wanted a smaller weight reel/rod setup that is easy to carry through woods and fish on smaller mountain streams in PA. Used it recently on the Lehigh River as a test (a larger waterbody than what I bough it for) and it casts very well. The fly line, backing and tapered leader is already included which is a nice bonus. The only thing I have to do is reverse the line because I cast with my left arm (my stronger arm) and reel with my right hand and this handle is on the left. The only minor issue is that the drag doesn't adjust correctly. At the highest setting, the reel doesn't even turn. The range of drag is way too broad. I only use the lowest 2 clicks, if that makes sense. I think there are 10 click settings. Overall, a very good reel that comes prespooled for less than $30.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice prespooled reel for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect
*by S***. on 1 August 2024*

I purchased this fly reel to do some flyfishing for panfish and small bass. Received the reel and was impressed at the quality of the materials for the price. Has a nice weight to it. The line that comes on the reel is good and does what I need. The drag system is OK but not great which is good cause it's for small fish. The main problem I have and why I can't give it a 5star rating is due to the fact that it literally reels itself in as you are making your false cast. And that becomes a problem when you strip off plenty of line to reach your target area or fish, and when youake the shoot, you fall short and loose the fish. Gonna try to reach out to the company for a fix. I will keep everyone posted. Update: shortly after this review, maxcatch reached out to me wanting to make the situation right. They sent a second reel out at no charge. Unfortunately, the new reel does the same thing straight out of the box. But, I will say that it is no where near as bad as the original. And because of how quickly they got back with me and offered to do what they can to make it right, I am changing my review rating to a 4 star. If there was a way to make it a 4.5 I would. I just can't give a 5 because to me, the product and company would have to be almost perfect. And yes, I do recommend this product as well as their flyrods.
