It's the smoothest casting, best reel I've ever owned. Fixing to buy another one. I don't have the resources to have a bunch of rods and reels, so adding another is a big investment for me. But I've been really happy with my Ardent. Never had to do anything but clean and lube. I fish 2-6 days a week and the Elite is always my go-to reel. I just wish I could find a rod that works as well for me at this price range. BTW Ardent Outdoors has a Sale going on now. Might try one of their rods. I just don't like the split handle design.

Super User burrows Posted September 10, 2018 Super User Posted September 10, 2018 So what your saying they make them in the Hiabo factory? Quote
Grantman83 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Ardent, piscifun and Haibo are all the same...I have a haibo and several piscifun reels which are actually really good. Aluminum framed reel for $55 (piscifun saex)... Yes sir!!!! Quote
Stephen B Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I don't recommend anything Ardent sales. Haven't felt the newest reels but the ones I felt I wouldn't hand to my worst enemy. Quote
