Solid reels

(American-made too...no?)

The best reel for the money.

Korea made not Chineez made.

I took it out to my local neighborhood pond just to test it and i have to agree. it casted like a dream. I didnt actually get a chance to hook a fish so i cant speak for much more but i must say it really feels and cast great. Thanks for the input fellas

its a good real for the money, they cast awesome... durability is a lil' questionable for long term use... but when they are priced 30-50 bucks i only expect them to last one season anyway.

i have purchased 5 of them... 2 of them 3 years ago, 3 two years ago... only one has been culled due to issues with the gear teeth

I've got 6 of them at present. Had a problem with one, but took it back and no questions asked. Turned it in and got a new one.

If its Pake approved then enough said. Might have to pick up a couple for myself.

A have bought several of them at Academy when they are on sale for $25 and how can you beat a deal like that.If one out of five doesn't work properly after a few years so what.

Amen!

Used to have 3 of them. Anti-reverse went out on 2 of them, bought some used ardent reels instead. I have to say ardent reels cast better than any other reel I have used so far.

It's the Indian not the arrow

I like them ok but the one I had started having issues with the thumb bar not releasing after a cast and I started reeling in. I was having to manually flip it up with my thumb after each cast which was getting rather annoying. Only had it about 2 months but they did take it back no questions asked.

Sometimes it is indeed the arrow and not the indian charlieecho. its a 50 dollar reel made in korea. Its not some miracle reel. Oh and my curado runs circle's around it as far as casting distance but like someone said a lil bit unfair to compare to Curado but I did only pay 50 bucks more for the Curado..

I got 2 of them myself not to long ago and i must say that reel really surprised me. I have curados and citicas and i can promise if it holds up to the wear and tear i will be getting some more!

thanks h20 good stuff crankbaits-rods-reels-rainwear thanks academy

I agree that the ardent reel will out cast other since they have abec 5 bearings in them.

The come from the factory supertuned, they call this race reel tecnoligey!

Yall are funny comparing a 170 reel to a 50 dollor reel just sayin... I've had over 10 h20 express reels and only one has broke and that was the level wind. Other than that they are great reels.
