Super smooth and not a single problem trout fishing all last season. Drag is very smooth and strong. Great value.

Smooth operation, delivered timely and seems of good qualty

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.

Got the 6000 reel and spoiled it with 50lb power pro with an 80 lb fluorocarbon leader and have landed numerous jacks, reddish, and snook with the smallest fish weighing 11 pounds. Reel worked flawless. Only thing I did was replace the small 33mm handle for a 38 mm handle for better grip and that's it. Awesome reel for the money.

I have nothing bad to say about this reel. Got my 1st one this summer. I do most of my fishing on head boats or charters, this real has been used weekly for fluke fishing. No, no “doormats” but handled 4/5 pounders with ease,Just came back from a Tog trip and was thrilled with this reals capabilities . Unfortunately I used this one for jigging, it handled 3 to 4’ dogs with ease. I did switch to my baited setup (Penn Battle 4000) and joined the “ double digit club”.I’m certain that this reel handled much better than the Penn.This and the original purchase were packaged perfectly.This is also replacing a Fierce 4000.It’s smoothness , sound & reliability is tough to beat in its class

I have had this reel for a bit over 6 weeks. I have been on the water 5-6 times with it and feel qualified to give my opinion. The reel has aluminium frame, and spool, yet is lightweight. I am impressed a great deal with this reel. The fit and function is right on. The finish is great! The cutaway rotor is unique and I found that the water seals in the reel do exactly as claimed. They keep the internals protected. The handle is plastic, carbon or aluminium I can not tell, other then it is beefy and well up to the task of fighting the PIGGY BASS! I really enjoy the oversized EVA handle grip, it is extremely comfortable and allows for a good positive grip. The drag on this reel may be the best drag system on any reel. It is precise, dependable, and no jerky slip. I played with the drag setting with a Bass on and am extremely impressed. This is an outstanding value on a spinning reel in the $75-$100 class, at $53.00 it may be against the law!! Tell you what, if the TITAN had the name of LEWS, GARCIA, DAIWA, or PENN on the cover plate it would sell for $100 easy. RUNCL truly has a great product here that is affordable for the working man. (gals as well). Give this reel a spin you will not be disappointed.

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. 😉

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 🎣.
