Review: ... exakt das selbe Modell unter anderen Markenbezeichnung bei anderen Händler für 17€ gekauft.
Review: This little reel work fantastically! It is small, but un-spools fast enough. It does look like a bait caster, but the spool hole is larger. I have not opened it up to see any internal differences. What I do know is that it works. The fit and finish are excellent. The reel functions smoothly. The drag can be turned up high enough to reel in 15-20 lb carp. I'm using it on a custom set up for my pistol type crossbow. I would love to try it on one of Balista's BAT crossbows! That seems like it would be an amazing rig to have set up for taking fish while I'm a kayak!
