baitcasting fishing reels Shimano SLX DC (Left/Right Hand Retrieve) Lew's, Speed Spool Baitcast Reel,

Brand Name: allblue

My evaluation of its value for money though will be based on the original $150 as this is the price of the reel in its new name, Soron STX 70 (the size equivalent to the 807i reviewed here)

HYPER ARMED HOUSING- a reinforced aluminum frame and sideplate provide maximum rigidity and precision performance of the internal components

This is matched with a split-grip EVA handle, offering control and all-day comfort

Compared to spinning reels, a baitcast reel is more challenging and has a steeper learning curve

Rather than with a much more vague contact of a reel knob and probably a dozen inches of handle, gears, shafts and indirect mechanics between you and the feel of the fish with FS
