Anybody know anything about this reel? Is it good? Has 450 yards of 20 pound test and 250 yards of 40. Planning on using it with a Diawa beef stick on piers. Any other cheap reel recommendations would be awesome. Thanks

      I have a 209 and it's the same just a little smaller and it has worked great on catfish to bull reds and med sharks. They cast well, but not as well as a non-level ...more wind reels.

      I'd suggest the Penn Jigmaster. It's the same as that without the level wind.

      gonna want something long and that can handle casting 4-6oz plus bait. Ideally something around 8-10' and rated for 20-40lb line

      Wipe it down with a wet rag after every use, then dry it. Grease the worm gear every now and then. Don't let it fall in the sand. I wouldn't recommend a ...more spinning rod if you can afford it. You're

      How do I keep it clean? @bassinboy01 and thanks for all the help! Oh and BTW would this reel work on a spinning rod?

      Yea they'll cast fine, but that level wind might get in your way. If it gets dirty, it could seize on you

      @bassinboy01 the description on the site said something about a boat reel. Think it'd work on the pier for sayyyy 20-40 yard casts?

      But just pack it with 30mono if you feel strong about that 309. Idk I don't like going cheap if I'm messing with big baits. Go avet or diawa or jig master ...more penn.

      Great starter. I think they're cheaper at Wally World though
