 Pleasantly Surprised July 12, 2009
David McEldery (Plains, MT USA)
I've got plenty of cheap spinning reels, and decided to throw down some serious money on an expensive one, so I went shopping on Amazon. This reel came up, and I looked at the reviews, broke down, and ordered another "cheap" reel. One review said it was bigger than expected, and that sold me. I was looking for something bigger for macinaw and steelhead. Well, I loaded it up with 20lb test Spiderwire, mounted it on a medium weight older rod, and took it out on Flathead Lake. I was pleasantly surprised. It cast very nicely and was quite smooth. It's a simple reel, no bells or whistles. I nailed macs in the 5 to 10 lb. range, no problem. I'll find out what this reel's made of when I try it on Salmon River steelhead this fall. I'm a little suspicious of the drag knob. I'm not sure you can crank it down to a 20 or 30 lb. break. I'll find out. I figure that for the price, if it doesn't work out, I'm not out a lot of money. So far so good. I was a little disappointed to see that it is made in China, but isn't everything? I have nothing against the Chinese, I'm glad to see conditions improve for them. I only wish that an American company could turn these out. But, that's a subject bigger than this review. The 106 gets 4 stars for price, and effectiveness as tested thus far. If a 20 lb. steelhead destroys it, I'll let you know.

I've had this guy for a month now and simply, I'm back online looking for somethings that's gonna be more reliable. There is nothing smooth about this reel. I took it bass fishing only a couple times and I've ended up only throwing it into the lake.

Great reel for the money, it performs as well as some I have costing a lot more. The only issue I have with it is It is really big for a freshwater reel. You need a bigger pole to balance this reel.
Great reel! April 10, 2009

As one of the higher rated, cheaper spinning reels I found on amazon, I decided to give this one a try. I am very happy with the quality... the reel spins very smoothly and quietly, and the fit and finish look and feel very high grade. After using it the first time, if i didn't already know how much this reel cost, I would have guessed it to cost 3x as much
Very pleased May 22, 2008

I couldn't be happier. The product was shipped to me in a timely manner, and in perfect condition. Thank you for a great fishing reel. It will be put to good use.
