Very nice , seems to be good quality very very smooth, not a sealed reel need to be a little gentle when fishing in the surf

Beautiful, sheek and smooth as silk!
Have not taken it to the beach yet, so I'll update once I do. But out of the box, I was impressed. The reel is beautiful, sleek, and as smooth as butter. Came with two spools, one I loaded with braid and the other I loaded with mono. Got it to do some long-distance surfcasting.

Casts a long way and seems to be well built.
I paired this reel with a Star Stellar 8' medium rod($100) using runcl 40 lb braid and I can cast 100 yards with a 2 oz pyramid sinker. The reel is smooth and has a very strong drag - 33lb. I bought it so I can cast out to Pompano who feed near the sand bars. With a longer rod I should be able to cast well past 100 yards. I'm happy with this reel. I bought it when amazon had it on sale for $157 - great buy !!!It comes with a spare spool and shims. I used the shims on the second spool and loaded 20 lb J-braid and 330 yards filled the spool. The first spool was loaded with 40 lb braid without a shim and the spool took a little under 300 yards.

Great Reel for your money.
I married this reel to my Shimano Tiralejo and I am pleased with balance and combined weight of the two making it a dream to cast for hours at a time.. I am glad I filled the reel with 30lb. braid because I am casting SP Minnows and Pencil Poppers at really great distances.

The lightest 5 series SW reel that comes with a 2nd spool
Better than I expected...for a 5500 size real, it's as light as i had hoped vs other 5 series spinning real. The huge spool took lots of the 30lb sufix 832 braided line, over 375 yds if not more. PLUS, the 2nd included spool allowed me to have a 50lb powerpro braid handy if conditions call for it. Its sleek, its smooth and should be badass for my upcoming surf fishing season...

Poor Quality- not worth the price
My reel broke after just light use and now I have to ether fix it or throw away a 180$ reel. Now what you would expect from the shimano name. Very disappointing.
