I have used the Cast X2, on several outing now. Today I caught 5 northern pikes on it. The drag is plenty I can tell, and it will cast as far as you can. Being made of composite, I would not use it for larger fish than it is designed for.But paired with a medium rod, and some spinnerbaits up 1 oz, I could fish this reel all day. I wish Seasir would make a baitcaster with centrifugal brakes one day.
You should see if Seasir will send you a megacuda to review. I don't think there's too many reviews out on it and I've heard good things. One of the reviews on Ali says that it actually uses the frame and side plate from a reel being sold for $375 in the US. While definitely possible I'm not so sure I believe that.
I saw the same review. If I remember correctly he said he is professional in maintainance/repair of these kind of products. I bought the megacuda few weeks ago. So far the reviews I have seen are very positive on it.
@@janneliimatainen6186 I also just bit the bullet and ordered the double handle version. Since it was on sale I couldn't pass it up at 25 bucks. It's interesting because it's a metal frame with a deep spool and oversized handle but looks like it is on the smaller side. I got a decent heavy rod off Ali for 20 so going to see if I can't make a $45 swimbait/catfishing setup. 🤣
Hey Dennis thank you for another great video. Can you advise me on a robust fixed spool reel that I can use fishing very snaggy rough ground in the sea. I’m not looking for a new reel or something that light I’m looking for something strong and hardy with plenty of guts. Ideally no anti reverse setting. All the best
@@2ndChanceTackle Thank you so much Dennis. From what I understand these are Multipliers and actually I do have a Daiwa sealine slosh 30 but I’m specifically looking for a fixed spool tanks agin
Hi Dennis enjoyed your video and breakdown of the reel. I have had the reel for a while. I had mine apart as was curious, like a lot of the features. Have been very happy with its casting of lighter weights and in general really enjoy using it. I wasnt the biggest fan of those style handle grips, so changed them. It has been surprisingly good👍
To call something a review, you have too actually review it. Not break it down and tell us your opinion off it. How good does the brake system work on it, how good is the drag, the back lash, how smooth does it throw, what is the actual line reel in speed per rotation? Do you know what a review means now?
Tks Dennis for a early video. Very nice Reel. Hope we get to watch another video tonight .
YW
That's a great value at that price point. Great video Dennis.
It is definitely worth the price paid - Thanks
Zebco Propel and Roam low-profile baitcast reels are good for the price.

I'd be happy to do one if they sent it to me! I will check - Dennis

All my lures are between 5gr and 15gr. is it suitable for my lures?Thanks
Yes, that is a ideal size reel for those lures

What is the size of the reel handle center? 8 x 5mm or 7 x 4mm?
I'm sorry but I don't know and I no longer have that reel to measure it. Thanks for asking - Dennis

Yes - any in the Penn Senator line or the Daiwa Sealine series will fit your needs

How's it Fish? Thanks
It's good - I like it a lot and for the price, it is a good value
May i ask what do you prefer or recommended rod for that reel?
7 to 8 foot casting rod with medium action would be best for this reel
@@2ndChanceTackle I appreciated it man ty from 🇵🇭
Zebco Propel and Roam low-profile baitcast reels are good for the price.

Hello, someone know the line retrive for one handle turn?
I will need to check to see if I can find that information for you - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle thanks appreciated

I guess review means different things to different folks. This one was intended to show the mechanicals and how the reel is made.
