Maxcatch Fly Fishing Reel with CNC-machined Aluminum Body Avid Series Best Value - 1/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 Weights(Black, Green, Blue)

Got this reel today right on time. Reel looks and functions perfectly.I loaded it work line, nymph line, and attached it to my maxcatch nymph rod and caught a few trout. Super easy to swap too right hand retrieve. I love this tell. Looks amazing. I absolutely recommend this and other maxcatch products.UPDATE: took this real trophy fishing today, it was the first time the drag really HAD to be engaged and worked like a charm. I landed ten trout over 20 inches all 4-8 pounds. Loving this reel more and more!!

So far it's working well. It's decently smooth with a simple design. The only issue I've been having is with the drag. It will loosen on its own relatively easily. It gets slightly annoying for me and the reason for 4 stars. Everything else about the reel is great. This reel has taken some decent falls. I'm currently in Machining school and made some parts to keep the drag from loosening so easily. Keep the reel clean and greased and it will last a long time!THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM MAXIMUMCATCH IS ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH! Bumping to 5 stars.I have been float tube fishing on the lakes a lot lately. The cork drag disk became saturated and fell apart. I asked maxcatch what size it was so that I replace it. They replied with "we believe that a new reel will solve this issue for you"!!! A NEW REEL!!! A person couldn't beg for anything more than that! Maxcatch has been absolutely awesome for me. I broke a fly rod of theirs when I slipped and fell. Boom 15 minutes later a new rod section was in the mail no question asked.

Stunning reel! Looks so nice on my blue Ultraglass rod from Maxcatch! So smooth on retrieve! Drag is smooth and easily adjustable! you can switch from left to right hand retrieve in seconds.. It looks and functions like a much more expensive reel. Build quality is top notch, you wont be disappointed. I fish a lot of places that are pretty timber covered and rough, I cant see paying hundreds for a fresh water reel because it is a name brand status symbol, just to get gravel rash and bumped around. This thing performs flawlessly and for a fraction of the price..

You will not find a better reel for the money. I have been nothing but impressed with Maxcatch gear. They provide exceptional value to their clients. This reel is light, precisely manufactured, well balanced, and smooth. I have fished the "Big Names" but I'm a Maxcatch guy now. You could buy one of those "O" reels, or get a fleet of 2wt, 3wt, 5wt, 6wt and 8wt..., with backing and line and still get gas to drive to your secret spot... AND still have a fantastic reel..

This reel has treated me extremely well! As someone that was new to fly fishing, I was searching for a fly reel that was affordable but still gave me a great experience on the river. I was thoroughly impressed. I did have some questions about the reel after a few months of owning it, so I reached out to customer care. They were able to address my concerns and get me taken care of immediately! I would definitely recommend this reel!

Sturdy with smooth retrieve. Great as a backup reel. Great value.

Good fly reel with good drag and good customer service from seller.

This is probably one of the best reels and it's my favorite! Great quality and it can last lots of hits and still work like it's brand new. Thanks for this amazing product please send a couple more.

Not sure what to say...I knew it was a cheap reel and didn’t expect high end fit and finish, but I did expect it to be the same color as the picture.

After retiring 6 years ago I decided to make fly fishing my main focus. I needed new equipment so I checked on-line and discovered Maxcatch.

Awesome reel, great backing and leader but unable to use the fly line as it came tangled and I have not had time to untangle.

Reel is solid feels good on my 9ft 5wt. Line is crap basically comes in a tangled ball that you need to figure out so dont try to line your reel on a lunch break.

Quality item Clark!

Great reel works as expected

Very impressive reel, it works well and the quality is outstanding. Compared to reels three times the price in New Zealand it is well worth the investment.

Took it out a few times. The drag does occasionally slip but it is a fantastic product. Caught several trout on this reel with not ill effects from drag slipping.

Great reel!

Nice reel just came in the wrong color...
