i have just bought one of these reels from gander mountain and was wondering if it was worth keeping. it seems pretty good and i like its full metal body. does anyone have any experience with these reels?

If you don't think it's worth keeping, I'll give you my address....send it here buddy, I'll put her to good use!

Worm - They are a great super small reel that will balance well with small 16-24 inch ultralites. The drags are as good as any reel out there for the price. The early models had a drawback in that the line could get between the spool and drag adjustment knob. The ones the last 4 years or so fixed that problem. They are usually 22-24 bucks but you'll see places blow em out at the end of season sometimes for 15 bucks......

We use this w/ 2lb test.  Great little reel!

Great reels!  Only complaint I have is I can't find spare spools for them.  If anyone knows where to get spools, please let me know.

That little silstar tiny is a pretty good reel. A few years ago on Lake Simcoe while ice fishing for perch (near Roache's point) in about 50' I hooked into a 4#whitefish and of course the reel was loaded with 2#trilene ice. About 20 minutes of flawless drag performance my first whitefish was on the ice. My only problem now is that my wife always uses it, so I need to get one for myself. If somebody's giving one away I'll surely take it.

I picked one up at Gander with some of a gift certificate from X-mas.
No complaints so far for panfishing, I don't know about anything much bigger. 
Think I paid $20, so I didn't really expect much...
