Maxcatch Avid Fly Reel with CNC-machined Aluminum Alloy Body 1/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10wt (Sliver, Black, Green, Blue) (Model 02, 7/8 wt)

Got this on amazon warehouse half price .when it arrived I was really impressed with the quality so much so that I would be happy to pay full price it really is nice

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND ONE IVE BOUGHT. I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE 'THIS IS THE BEST FLY REEL YOU WILL FIND FOR UNDER £50' I CAN'T FAULT THIESE REELS AT ALL. BUILD AND MACHINE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, DRAG IS SMOOTH AND POWERFUL. DRAG ADJUSMENT IS SPOT ON TOO. POSITIVE CLICKS MAKE IT VERY EASY TO DIAL IN AND OUT. LIGHT, PLENTY ROOM FOR DECENT LENGTH OF BACKING AND LINE. GREAT LOOKS IF THATS YOUR THING :) I DO NOT DETECT ANY PLAY IN THE SPOOL WHAT SO EVER (BOTH REELS) FOR THIS KIND OF MONEY, I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE NEGATIVE COMMENT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS REEL TO ANYONE. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PRICE, I HAVE BEEN FISHING FOR 35 YEARS AND IVE GOT REELS THAT COST 3 TIMES THIS AND QUITE HONESTLY GIVE ME NO ADVANTAGES OVER THIS LITTLE GEM, THANKS, JG **JUST 1 POINT TO NOTE, I BOUGHT THE 7/8 AND LOADED WITH BACKING AND A 7 LINE, WAS SNUGG, I WOULD RECOMMEND THE 8/9 REEL, SAME IF USING A 6 LINE, BUY THE 7/8 FOR IT**

The media could not be loaded.  This is a great little reel. I really didn't expect the quality to be as good as it was. For the price, it competes very favourably with more expensive reels and is very solidly made. The drag system is smooth, reversible and quite sensitive to adjustments and I think the reel could handle even a very powerful fish quite easily. It is a solid piece of equipment and the colours are quite unusual. The four weight line went on very easily, with enough room for backing and I am really looking forward to testing it out on the local lakes very soon. All round, a real winner and highly recommended!

Lovely reel. Played a couple of 4lb trout from the reel fishing from boat. Drag easily held strong dashes when fish saw the net/boat. Fish in net job done. The drag is so important and I use it if I feel the fish is big and strong. The drag on this reel is perfect. Easy to quickly adjust when fish on. Would have been good if reel could have been designed to take cartridges. I fish with 15 different lines in the bag and will use reel as back up. I bought two and will load with floater and intermediate.

What a beautiful little reel. Manufacturing and finish are delightful. Drag system probably overkill for a 2 weight brook fishing outfit but again well designed and finished. Balances perfectly with a 6ft rod. All in - far exceeded my expectation at this price

Its a great reel and does the job, I have used it a few times and like it, the drag is very sensitive but easily adjusted. Good product for the price and well built.

What a loverly little reel.Well machined with an easy, smooth drag.Looks and runs like a reel 3 times its price.Bought it cos the colour matched a new rod and very pleased with it.

Very light. Good drag system. Small arbor though.
