I would buy from SDI over no8/13/one three fishing any day
Yep, I've bought other items from them in the past and haven't been disappointed at all. With this particular reel, the position of the switch that activates the free spool function seems a bit flimsy, like it seems a little too loose, and it didn't engage/disengage as well as I would have liked, at least on the one I received, maybe others have had better luck with that. I also don't like the placement of that switch. I like the design of the other two reels I mentioned better. Just my opinion. As a business, Sportsman's Direct offers great service and has great pricing on their otherwise high quality products.
