Bass Pro Johnny Morris Carbon lite 2.0 Spinning Reel

[J.Bass]

Hello ? 

 

Was looking over the Bass Pro Spring Classic Sale in March and happen to stumble upon the New Bass Pro Johnny Morris Carbon lite 2.0 Spinning Reel. I recently just gotten a St Croix Mojo Bass Yak Spinning rod 7 ft medium-light.
 

 

 

Was wondering if anyone had tried out the carbon lite 2.0 spinning Reel. Is it good or am I better off with a different reel? Trying to make a light setup. The rod weight is 4 ounces and reel is anywhere from 6.7 to 7.8 ounces.

 

If y’all think it’s not a “great” reel, then give me your suggestions. I want to stay around $50 preferably. I think with carbon lite on sale for the price is a good deal + plus don’t need a reel trade in.

The reel is actually fantastic. It is the new version for 2020 and it's now made by Daiwa. Very big improvement over last years model. Very smooth and light.

I seen Quantum has 50% off but this being made by Daiwa and weighing 7.4 oz over 8.4 oz on quantum smoke s3 spinning might be what I get.

Does anyone know if it has a screw in handle?

It has a screw on handle. Not the screw that passes through and tightens from the opposite side.
