    I've been using this reel for a couple of months now and it's a great option for anglers looking to get a new inshore saltwater reel.
    This reel was put to the test on my kayak and it held up really well even when getting splashed a lot by my paddle and huge fish.
    The aluminum body is super lightweight, extra tough, and looks amazing!
    But did it perform well on the water?
    The short answer is yes.
    Its drag system is really smooth and adaptive, it casts just as good as the Shimano Stradic and Daiwa Fuego, and the arm is extra stiff and won't flex when you are fighting a fish.
    The only con that I noticed (the first time I took it out on the water) was the wind knot issue.
    But I switched out my line and it didn't happen again.
    All in all, this is a great reel to add to your collection!
    Have any questions about this reel?

    I purchased one Diana Procyon 4500 a week ago from Salt Strong store and so excited went out for first cast hook a small mangrove snapper couldn’t bring it in due to free spinning even though the drag knob was tied, found out that the reel was defective. I would assume they should have some type of quality control to ensure the product work as it should, unfortunately not. I contacted Salt Strong for several days now and still no response with any directions. I just want to exchange to the proper working one, but still waiting I also sent multiple email still no response. I did talked to Justin twice, and and request the operation manager to response, unfortunately whoever working on this issue didn’t seem to care. That was opposite from what was stated from the salt strong website. Hope this message reach out to Salt Strong team.

    I would slightly grease your FL's carbon fiber washers. I've never had that issue with my Stradic or my Spheros Inshore. Bizarre.

    • @andrewrusin2610
      @andrewrusin2610 2 года назад

      Me neither. You must have had a reel that didn't have sufficient amount of grease on the drag washers. Mind has been perfect out of the Box.
