Good but only one little thing
Great reel, kinda smooth. Obviously not gonna be too if the line, but it is very clean! Only thing is, the quick fire trigger is a little loose. I did try to tighten it down but it is fully tightened, I’m just going to put a small washer and that should easily fix it.
Thank you for your feedback
