Solid value and quality. Recommend this reel to be your budget friendly lever drag.
A solid lever drag real for the price. Great fish fighting power, can real almost effortlessly even under extreme load. Drag says 33lb I believe, I put it to the test. When cranked down fully the fish could still outpull the Drag, but to be fair this black drum was a fish for a larger size reel to fight. Only con per say is... the lever drag takes some time to set where you like it, and isn't always consistent in resistance. But if you're willing to play around and figure out what the reel likes to be happy, it's overall well worth the money.

Great Reel for the price
These are great reels for the price point. Perfect for saltwater salmon and bottom fishing. The large handle allows you to keep up with a fish that is running towards you which is when a salmon is likely to spit the hook. The drag is easily adjustable while fighting a large fish and unlike a star drag is easy to get at when you need to. The reel also has the backbone to reel in big Lings from the bottom.

Not quite what I expected
The reel is the TR100 modified to a lever drag configuration utilizing the TR100 drag. I was hoping for the larger drag typically associated with a lever drag reel. That being said it is a great reel that I expect to last almost 20 years like the standard TR100s I own.

Value for money, old school reel.
After more than 2 years of use, i serviced this reel. All the components inside seems holding pretty strong, no corrosion found. Easy to service and after service reel like a new one again. Very satisfied with what I paid for.

I like the light weight of the reel and the speed ...
I like the light weight of the reel and the speed and ease of retrieve. After I used the reel for a while I took it apart to check the inside. I found the factory lube job lacking so I applied reel grease and reassembled the reel. Good thing that I did it when I did because I found the inside of the reel to be clean, no corrosion. Be very careful when reassembling the reel because stripping the threads in the graphite is very easy to do.

Just what I Needed
Great reel for my needs. Have replaced other set ups with this reel. I use lead core line for trolling for big trout and I love the drag settings on the reels.
