    I highly recommend getting on ebay and picking a shimano or daiwa bfs reel that's used and comes from Japan for another $40+ just to avoid any of the issues the china reels have. You could get a daiwa tatula for $100 + shipping and that's a W imo. I picked up an og daiwa aird100hl for $80. That was a $280 reel when it came out. Ebay is a good place. But be like me, if you see someone is about to win a dope reel for cheap with one bid on it, don't snipe it cause there's tons on there and then we all win.

    yea there is definitely a difference reel to reel, their are certain reels some guys hate and have problems with while other love them. A recent example is the Histar Aurora Air

      Thanks mate! Totally agree, I can’t see too many scenarios where I’ll be looking to pick on of there up over my conquests haha. I do really like some of the rods though. Figured the reels were worthwhile sharing for those interested in giving BFS a go 👌🏼

      Definitely Thumbs up for budget bfs reels my boys run haibo elite, feather lite and cormorant. Id would like a sub 6ft rod that's tippy for finesse when chasing river bass but have enough backbone to handle 40cm+ fish. Plus, Short enough to aid backhand cast. So if you come across 1 share your thoughts 👌

      I think you got a bad Soloking. My drag cranks down well. In fact, I caught a 4.5lb largemouth bass on it today using 6lb line. The fish wrapped me around stumps twice and jumped completely out of the water but the reel performed flawlessly. I was very happy. I also have the micro monster but haven’t gotten to test it on a big fish yet. The fit and finish is also superb for the price. About to buy another for $26 (!) after coupon.
