Does not hold up to salt water
I have 10 penn spinfisher reals . They are all over 4 years old and are still smooth . This real is a couple months old and already sticking . The knob on the reel falling off non stop didnt really bother me but the reel itself now becoming useless so fast is . Oddly i splurged on the real since it costs as much as a penn rod/ reel combo. But its sad its junk Update: kastking sent me a new reel free of charge without me requesting it . I wanted to test the reel before updating my review . Its been a few months and many hours of saltwater fishing . The new reel has held up perfectly . The first one musta been a lemon. I really like the reel . Its very smooth. I will update again if things change . I expect any higher end reel to last at least 1 year .

Fixed!
Edit: Kastking tried to help solve my issues and suggested sending another one incase the one I got turned out to be defective. Happy to say the new one has been good so far, not sure what the deal was with the first one I got but overall pretty happy about the replacement. Thanks again. Sure its smooth out of the box but no really compared to the same price point of its competitors. For over 150 its feels like a scam. The quality is just not there with the very flimsy bait arm with crazy amount of flex to the subpar drag system. The line roller barely rolls and that is going to be a huge problem with braid. It does look cool but nothing screams buy me, just get a penn,shimano or daiwa

Well made and strong
Got this for salmon fishing and it has held up well to some really big fish on strong fast runs. The drag is smooth and powerful for those 20+ lbs. fish

Giving it three stars it feels good but a little hard to turn isn’t fluid but overall like it
