Davidhorowitzski Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Looks like China's answer to Van Staal reels. Anyone ever use on of these? Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 21, 2017 Super User Posted February 21, 2017 Never, but it has some nice looks. Did a quick google and found this for a diff model, but same company (nothing popped up on the model you listed): http://www.ultimateangling.co.za/index.php?topic=17789.0 1 Quote

Davidhorowitzski Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 For $250 it's a commitment buying one. Chinese brand reels seem to have a bad name (where are all the shimano, diawa, and vanstaals made). Last year I picked up a Chinese baitcaster for $40 and it gave better reels a run for its money. I'd love to see one somewhere. I don't think it'll be to long before bait shops carry some. Quote

Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 21, 2017 Super User Posted February 21, 2017 I'm still not taking a risk. I probably won't dip into a Chinese made brand anyhow, no matter how good they are, as I'm a Shimano for life guy. ? 3 Quote

But who's to say I don't have some quantums and a pile of Abu's too! My favorite reel right now (for this week) is a pflueger Asaro. Sometimes I wonder how many rods the average fisherman keeps in the stable. 1 Quote
