I’ve used this reel for several months now and it’s become my go-to for trout and small bass. The retrieve rate is noticeably faster than my previous model. The Steve Periwinkle color is unique and stands out in the field. Easy to handle and very responsive on the water.
Steven Berry –
The aluminum construction feels solid and the drag system works smoothly without any sticking. I appreciate the inboard handle—it gives better control when casting. It’s a bit heavier than standard reels, but that adds to the stability.
Christopher Mackay –
Great build quality and the anodized finish holds up well to outdoor conditions. The narrow spool helps with line management, especially in windy situations. A little pricey, but worth it for the performance.

I bought this for my son who’s just starting out. He loves how easy it is to use and how fast the retrieve is. The color is eye-catching and the reel feels premium. No issues so far with drag or spool performance.
