Wasn't sure what to expect from this reel but it was on sale and I needed something in a hurry. Needless to say, I was impressed...very impressed. The reel didn't have any wobble and the drag was fantastic. I only managed to land one flounder the other day when I went fishing but it was a breeze to bring in. It even came with a carrying bag - something which delighted me to no end as in the past I've been using those small bags that I had gotten from vineyard vine's apparel purchases but they're no longer giving out again. I'd definitely purchase again in the future. I'm also hoping that they increase their reel variety to include bigger ones as well.

Just, received and after a few cranks of the handle I felt this will be a great off shore jigging reel. SMOOTH with wobble less vibration. Can't wait for the seas to calm to get offshore and obey rules 1 & 2 for fish.Rule 1. =Lift & Turn the handle.Rule 2 = NEVER FORGET RULE #1. .The bearings are what will make catching fish the most fun. Fighting the Fish NOT the reel...

Well Runcl is a good brand. I like their reels and braided line. My problem is they need to add protection in the package so the item doesn't get delivered mashup. Next issue is the fricking handle for a 6000 series this should come with a power knob. It's def ganna be a issue if you got big hands or fighting a fish for a long time. Yep your fingers ganna be in a world of pain especially if you do my style of fishing. Just some updates I think the company needs to make, but all in all it's a good reel very strong and hold up to saltwater 🎣.

Looks and feels good.

This reel is light but definitely sturdy. It is actually quite a bit lighter than I expected. I am not one that cares that much about a reel being super light. I am no wussy and a bit of weight to a reel never bothered me as long as the reel was study. This one, to my surprise, is both…not going to argue with that.The casts and retrievals are silky smooth which I assume is due to the number of bearings they loaded into this thing. Not going to complain in the least about that, either. Today I was using a RUNCL frog, which I normally would use with my baitcaster, cast a good long ways even with the evening breeze picking up.The grip on the handle is the same material as the grip on the handle of my rod so it is not likely to slip if it gets wet.Carbon fiber drag discs impressed me as did the total drag of 44lbs. Now, a drag of 44lb is probably overkill for this size of a reel, but it gives some serious versatility to this reel that I could not find in other reels I looked at. While I mainly bought it for bass and pan fish, it would allow me to throw this thing on a heavier duty pole and do some serious catfishing if I wanted to…and I just might.Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I uploaded a couple of pics of some late afternoon fishing I did today. I did not pull any in, though I got some great hits on that frog, but that is the fisherman’s fault, not the equipment. 😉

Surprised at the quality at the price point. Good ratio. Heavy duty for freshwater. Highly recommend.

I bought a 4000 that was so smooth and well built that I bought a 2000 to use for bass fishing. The spool has a crosshatch design to keep braid from spinning when lining the reel. The handle is comfortable, and the bail feels sturdy opening and closing it. The drag dial turns smoothly, and the detents are crisp. I plan to buy more when my older reels need to be replaced.

I just got this in.I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged.Most reels come in a box with some kind of foam or cardboard insert to protect the reel, not just placed in the box.So I was a bit skeptical at first.Always been a big fan of Abu Garcia and Shimano.I needed to replace a reel that finally retired to fisherman heaven, and wanted a decent midrange reel for a 7" MH/M action rod.As I said, I wasn't real impressed with the packing, but after giving it a very thorough inspection, I have to say, this is a decent quality reel.It's good looking, has great style, and smooth operation.I always grease and oil new reels, just to be on the safe side, or as some would say, "it's better to err on the side of caution" than to take it out fort a test drive and have something go wrong.The reel seat is just a tad longer than most, so fingering the line during casting will be just a bit different, but it balances very well on the rod.I filled it with 30lb braid and a 15lb leader. It holds a lot of line.I'll update my review once I have the chance to get it out for a good days fishing.

Received an used, rusty and faulty reel. Another bad seller at Amazon.
