Just bought the combo from dicks for $80 and honestly this reel is better than most bait casters on the market and the casting distance is amazing and the break system is really good , zero backlash on 1(zero being lowest) with 30 lb braid
Shimano and Daiwa don't use a clicking spool tention. Even on their highest end stuff (Steez, Met, Zillion, Chronarch, etc). I don't know where the assosiation with clicking spool tention and quality comes from honestly....
You're right not everyone uses click (leaf) springs but a lot of manufacturers do on their more expensive products. A majority of my reels have them, which a majority of them also aren't shimano. I have a steez and zillion sitting on my shelf right now, they both click. Metanium does not... As you go up in price youre assuming the fisherman is more serious and being able to fine tune everything by a click versus guessing how much they turned the dial is the reason for using clicking components. It also helps the dial stay put. Instead of just the pressure against the o-ring, it has to also turn hard enough to compress the leaf spring and move it to the next notch. Thats a big reason why star drags have them, to help them stay put. It serves more purpose than being just an audible noise. No clue why shimanos dont have them, perhaps they want to do their own thing, perhaps its to save money.. who knows. Everyone will always buy shimano no matter what they do. All of the flagship equipment that I specifically own and isn't shimano has the click springs inside of them (Quantum, Daiwa, 13 Fishing, Abu Garcia). Everyone has opinions but mine is if you're making reels and chose to omit a $2 part for whatever reason, a part that actually serves a purpose other than to make noise, then they didn't care enough when constructing it. That's how I judge how quality something is... because a majority of higher end reels from a lot of manufacturers use them and it wouldn't affect profits that much to add a part that costs probably cents when bought in bulk. Unless its a cheap reel there is really no reason to not include it.
I have found it very easy to open these kind of packages if you cut the top and then just separate it to the bottom.
Don’t you just love those packages. Good review let us know what you think after using it for awhile.
😂😂 No not at all😂 And I'll be doing reviews of all the origin reels soon here
Hey awesome feel! Loved the video. Just so you know, that comment from Liam is a comment bot and is not a real person.
Figured, I've seen him all over😂
I like it! Slick looking reel, are the handles longer than standard one cause I like the longer power handles

This reel is going for $60 on amazon right now! Crazy price for the amount of reel you get.
Agreed, it makes it hard to try more expensive reels haha

Well shoot that's a pretty good deal. Unfortunately I have way too much equipment as is
Allot of high end reels the tention knob doesn't click so that is false info
