User questions & answers

Question:	Que tamaño es
Answer:	Depends on what you put on it but I have 100 yards 20 pound and 100 foot 8 weight on one and it's fine the reel isn't overloaded but it doesn't come with backing or line you'll have to order that separate
Question:	How much does the reel weigh
Answer:	I must be the one who received the two good ones as I've had nothing but excellent results with these reels. Recently I tied into an exceptional Northern Pike with a rain wet 5/6 and enjoyed a real run with high jumps and more, all the while putting the drag to a classic wet reel test. Throughout the run the funny named reel performed as well as one of my expensive big name reels. I have had nothing but excellent results from these "knock-offs" so I, so far, am absolutely amazed. I would suggest that if you are having trouble with your reel you might want to try cleaning it once in a while!
