What are your thoughts on this reel? FishUSA has been selling a number of these reels already. They are a great reel for the price!

I plan on ordering one this season. As you said, they look to be loaded with a lot of features for the price. Do you have a decent supply of them, or do you anticipate running out and not getting more in?? I'm also interested in information on the free spool feature! Thanks....

They appear to be a pretty decent reel......I like the look of it....honestly, I'm curious about the star drag.
Don't want to compare it to the first edition Eagle Claw, but that's about all I can compare it to....it needed to be modified in order to work properly.
Suppliers have had the chance to handle these in advance, spool them up, mount on a rod, give them a test run, etc..
If I could ask, I'd appreciate to hear your personal opinion on the drag and the reel in general? How does it feel mounted? Thanks for any input.....and Thank You for sponsoring this great site. :thumbsup: :icefish:

Hey guys,
We do have a fair amount in stock at this time and more on order. We do anticipate this being a hot item this year and the more than likely the manufacturer will be out of stock early.
The reel feels great and in our opinion is better than any comparable inline reel on the market for the price. It isn't as nice as the 6061 but it's half the price.
