The reel is absolutely stunning, visually. It's really smooth action until you try to crank the drag down. Light drag is fine and smooth but it binds up and is terribly uneven when you try to tighten the drag. Don't know if i got a lemon but it's still worth it because there is enough drag to prevent over-runs and for smaller fish and I can palm the rim if extra resistance is needed. Wish I could give it 5 stars. Also, right to left hand wind change is easy, just flip the bearing in the back side of the spool. The outer bearing and lock nut can be lost when the spool is removed so take precautions. Be aware: The capacity may hold a #7 line with little backing but it looks more like a capacity for a WF-5-F with 50-75 yards backing capacity. I'll let you know after I load the reel and use it.Read full review

At this price I thought it's got to be worth a go, I have friends that have bought very similar reels and they're very happy with them. It is smooth, simple and well balanced and is a pleasure to cast with. The only gripe I have is that there was no instructions with it to explain how to swap the spool over from right hand wind to left hand wind. Eventually I did it but if you intend to do the same - you need a large, clean work area and a white cloth because there's a lot of very small pieces that can get lost in the process. Essentially you just need to disassemble the reel from the back and turn the bigger - rear most - bearing around then reassemble again. An exploded diagram of the design would have been useful. However it is an excellent reel and mine came very well packaged & delivered inside 9 days from China. Excellent!Read full review
