Well i received one for Christmas and was wondering if its a good reel or should i trade it for smething better. It actually feels good in my hand but i have one friend that does not like them. can any of you all chime in and tell me what u think of them if you have tried them

i have a couple and like them alot ..great reel for the money

Best reel for the money! Especially for the $25 Black Friday special! Free over the counter return/exchange too!

I have mine on a 7' carrot stick ml , and I throw square bills and small topwaters with it .... Works great , however don't start trying to compare it to a curado or revo .....

The best reel for the money in my opinion. I have two of them. but like they said its not compared to a curado or like a citica. be a good back up reel or, reel to keep at home. All my better reels i keep in the boat. The H20 Ethos rods are good too. Did you get the camo one or the grey one? They make camo rods to match the reels that are pretty neat looking, and the fish cant see it haha.

I've got 4 of them. Like everyone else said, for the money you won't find a better reel. Compares to many expensive reels. Obviously, if you want to spend lots more money, you can definitely get better reels like a revo. But I love the Mettles for sure!

I used mine for the first time today... Right along side my revos, and it was smooth...

I got the gray one also. Its on a 7" carrot stick and feels great as i said before. Thanks for the info. i guess now i will take it out on the water. and see just how good i like it.

well I'll just repeat it: best reel for the money. casts great, it's smooth, and if you break it it's only $50 to replace...very good reel

people always has something bad to say about the h2o reels just because they are cheap but i was out casting my fishing parnter that had a revo sx with my mettle throwing the same lure.

Only thing bad about it is they dont make a left handed model

Pake has a couple of them and likes them better than his Citicas. They have lasted well, I have to say. He likes to use them for pitching as he puts his thumb under the thumb-bar after a pitch and it engages the reel. I tried it on all my non H2O reels and it only works on the H2O's

they have a life time warnty .best reel for the money i have 4 of them

I have 3 of them. I use them more than my other reels. Had one mess up, exchanged for a new one, no questions asked. They even took my line off the old one, and put it on the new one. I will not hesitate to use one.

I have three of them, bought another for $25 on Black Friday. They are good little reels, mine are a bit noisy after a few months...but for what I use them for, they are just fine.
