I think it is a great bargain for the money. My only complaint is that I ordered three, but they only shipped two. They charged me for three, so I had to request a refund for one. That reimbursement happened rather quickly. I will probably order one more soon, since shipping is free. The casting is pretty good - at least as good as my two other (more expensive, but not high end) spinning reels. My brother-in-law has a very high-end spinning rod and reel, which does easily outcase this one. I know he paid a whole lot for that setup (hundreds, I am sure), because he likes to buy the best available. Anyways, even though his is clearly better, it isn't better enough to justify paying 30 to 50 times more. It maybe casts 30 feet further.I bought a couple of poles at Harbor Freight for $9 each and put these reels on them. I haven't seen any store selling a rod and reel for $15, so I feel pretty good about the purchase... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Great value for my non-standard need. Launching stuff!!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Zebco Spincast Fishing Reel Spooled with 10-Pound Line (Sports) First off: I don't use this reel for fishing.I built a HAM radio antenna launcher kit from the Joplin Amateur Radio Club and the addition of a spincast reel was required. Basically, I have this thing attached to the end of a PVC pneumatic antenna launcher. When you fire the launcher projectile, the line trails out of the reel for recovery over trees or high objects. I replaced the 10lb line with 15lb and have had no issues. I consistently get smooth launches and line recovery works well. No issues yet. For $10 I couldn't find a better deal. If you need a reel for launching goodies up into the trees, look no further :-) 73, N6LY |
