I must say this is the most cost efficient electric fishing reel on the market

Although in that case, I would probably recommend stepping the rod up to an XH or XXH that can handle at least 12 ounce and up to 16 ounce baits, which I discuss below

* Support your rod while you tend to the fish you just caught (basically a third hand) * Can accommodate 2 rods with butt ends up to 1 1/4" (medium rods) * Lightweight yet durable materials consisting of HDPE and Nylon body to give you strength along with flexibility

Furthermore, the compact size means it balances beautifully on a modern 20-30lb class boat rod, so you dont feel like you are holding a cumbersome winch all day
