Pros & Cons
Pros
Great size for backpack. Drag is infinitely adjustable to add a bit more game when i want to play. I own the ax 2000, which is now the ix 2000.
It is smooth and casts well. The shimano is much lighter while feeling more solid. Just wore it out from hours and hours of casting.
This reel is awesome. And for this price. Great gift in christmas. Gongon na na na.
I know shimano makes durable reels. In my opinion this reel is a steal for this price. This is a good quality inexpensive reel.
Reel to go with a south bend adventure pac telescopic fishing pole. Works great with an ultralight rod for trout fishing while backpacking. I do this to get really lightweight lures hanging down far enough.

Highlights
Quality
Good quality as you would expect from this manufacturer
I like the quick fire featurethe rear draggear ratio and the no fail bail sysyem
I was bummed out when it finally fell apart after years and years of use
I can trash it while camping and not care for such a great feal on a shimano product
Price
These are inexpensive and have worked well so far
A very good reel for the price
I paid 12 for mine and it outclasses reels costing 4 times as much
I paid 12 bucks about 20 years ago
Packaging/appearance
I have it on a eagle claw packit collapsible rod
Competitiveness
This 5 star rating is granted comparing it with other reels in its class
There is nothing on the market to compare to this reel
If you compare it to any other reel in its price class it is light years ahead
This reel is better than the 34daiwa sweepfire2b 240 yards 2 line spinning reel ultralight34 reel that i bought before
