This JM reel looks like a quality product for sure, might have to get one and check it out.. I have fished the [censored] out of them for years and havent had one fail me yet. I do regular maintenance on them though. Obviously they arent the prettiest reel you can own, but im not all that big on cosmetics when I am fishing. To each their own, but im not going to fix whats not broke and for a reel that $50, and $25 on sale and has has about 95-98% consistent reviews with people who regularly use them...im not gonna stop. i have at least 10 of them fish every weekend and abuse the^%#$#@ out them, if u break it take it back, just my 2c _________________________ Texas Bass Couples Metro div. and North div. director Whitesettlement Bass Club 93 Champ.

ultralite09 Pro Angler Registered: 06/09/09 Posts: 756	bought a quantum code this past weekend and used it all day during one of my tournaments. for $80, GREAT deal, smooth casting, drag was smooth and consistent and held up great all day after taking a beating in 25mph winds getting soaked, beat up and rattled around in the rod box and pulling in fish. H20 mettle has served me well. I know a guide that uses them for his sandbass and hybrid fishing and those reels are fished everyday for hours upon hours and they are well worth the money _________________________ Grumpys Custom Baits Double K Jigs

bassdad44 Outdoorsman Registered: 08/17/09 Posts: 164 Loc: Corinth , Texas	I picked up 2 carbon lite reels with matching carbon lite micro guide rods. All I can say is I love them. _________________________ A bad day fishing is better than a good day working!
