User questions & answers

Question:	How big of fish am i gonna be able to catch, is it capable of pulling in a big sturgeon? Or should i stick to smaller stuff like bass and northern
Answer:	I bought this reel specifically to use vertical jigging king salmon. Pulled in plenty of 25-30lbers. I have no doubt in my mind it could bring in a sturgeon. The only issue in my eyes would be the line you'd have on. I don't know exactly, but I do believe this could handle 40lb braid or larger. Its only a matter of how much line can you spool onto the reel at that point. But I do not have a bad word to say about this reel. Its wonderful.
Question:	Does it work in saltwater
Answer:	I’m sure it would be fine in saltwater. I do know they are great reels.
Question:	can these be used for catfishing
Answer:	Takes up to I believe 20lb test, so it should be good for catfishing
Question:	When it says "left handed" do you real in left handed or is it that you hold the rod in your left hand and you real in with your right hand
Answer:	Reel with left hand. Hold with right

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this reel cast a 1/16 oz lure
Answer:	With a moderate rod tip and a lot of practice it can. This reel does roll off the spool easily but less than 1/4oz take some practice loading the rod on the cast. For just $30 more the Lew’s KVD 80 size is much smoother and has many features of a reel in the $200 range.
Question:	How can I get an extra spool for this reel from someone here on Amazon
Answer:	I would try Ali Express.
Question:	Does “right hand” mean right hand retrieve? As in the cranking handle is on the right? I want the model with the crank on the left side
Answer:	Right hand means use right hand rock the reel handle, and use left hand hold the fishing rod, and the reel up on the rod. left hand reel's crank is on the left.
Question:	Is reel suitable for saltwater use
Answer:	I use mine for bass finesse fishing using 4 pound test line and very light lures/plastics (1/16 oz or less) on an ultra-light rod. I’m not sure where that would be suitable for saltwater use and I’m not sure of its durability in saltwater.
