Has anyone purchased this reel? Reviews please? I have a couple of spinning outfits, and when I'm not getting wind loops and knots, I love using spinning gear for shakey head and drop shotting, but with the wind this year, I'm tired of getting tangles.

I was given a demo of one at Icast. A few loops were intentionally placed in the reel and it seemed to do fine. But, I doubt it would cure line twist loops. Nevertheless, the reel felt smooth and functioned nicely.

IMO its a great reel for the price. I borrowed one from a friend and didnt experience any "loops" the 2 days I fished with it. Smooth casting and a good drag system... what more does a fella need in a spinning reel?

I own 2 of the $99.00 silver ones and as a regular user of spinning gear, I must say I love mine. They don't cause loops like other spinning reels, they are smooth and have a good drag system. I've had mine for about 6 months and haven't had a single bad issue with them.
It is the only type spinning reel I'll ever buy again.

this ^^ We had several in a third world sandy and dusty environment that never failed, never needed cleaning, and kept delivering under the harshest of conditions.

If I had to make a purchase, this would be a great investment thumb

Check out the DHxL it is a sweet little spinning reel. Took it to Colorado trout fishing in the streams with just a split shot and salmon egg hook. Slayed some nice trout and the reel handled 4 lb. Trilene XL without any issue the entire two weeks we were there. It also is a good crappie reel!

I had one of the round handle ones and took it to Bridgeport to use as a shakey head reel. It locked up the first time out and would not work again. Until it broke I could not see any advantage to the design it still twisted the line and the handle was uncomfortable to use. I took it back got a refund and bought a Shimano. Piece of junk!
