“I own a striped bass guide service and my reels take a lot of abuse. The durability and versatility of this reel are great. For the money, you just can’t beat it.”

“This reel works well and has zero problems with backlash. It’s easy to cast and looks great.”

I regularly go fishing for muskie and stripers and have been looking for a good baitcasting reel for it. I would love to product test this reel, it seems perfect for the type of fishing i do.

I have been a Abu Garcia user for many years and currently have the 5000. I want to try this one on largemouth bass to compare the two.

The one I have is the 5501C3 (left hand). Used for large mouth bass for +10 years. Great reel. Used on a 7' MH Berkley Hank Parker rod. I found I didn't like the reel on lighter rods.
Tight lines...

So, I see that at the top of each tested product there are 2 quotes about the product. Where are the rest of the comments from others who have actually tested this product through the club? I'd like to see more than just a rating number and 2 quotes. Does anyone who works for the club actually read these or are we just wishing?
