Pros & Cons
Pros
Reel is great for saltwater. I’m a crappie fisherman and this is one of the best reels.
This is by far one of the smoothest reels i've ever had. Reel has the smoothness of a shimano reel with the power of a penn. Well justifies its higher msrp.
It's well built, casts great, drag works extremely well. It casts wonderfully and spools quickly. Casted great with 6lb mono. I use it with 6 lb monofilament and it cast like a dream.
Cons
The drag on this reel is not sufficient for trolling. The bail arm assembly is a complete joke. Defective handle. Thank goodness amazon provided a return for it.
Highlights
Quality
There are a few models to be had but thus far none we have tried equal the quality of the ceymar c10
I’ve been using these reels for several years now and for the quality you get at the price you pay they do a fantastic job
Though plenty on cranking power paired with the right tackle and line and rod
Price
In my opinion this reel is a great deal for the price
Packaging/appearance
The reel came in great shape with a distressed packaging box despite marked as used good by warehouse deals
Competitiveness
I caught a 40lb king salmon on this reel and it worked like a dream and worked perfectly after
Best reel on the market at this price point
Many competitors leave that feature off altogether or put one on with a switch so small that it is hard to find or operate
Im still on the hunt for a highquality size 500 spinning reel
