Actual Customer Feedback:
"I own a trion. I have fished 3 seasons with it and it currently needs it's second paw. I bought a president last year and i had to put a paw in it this year. Not a major repair nor costly, but very frustating."

"This is my first baitcast reel...I'd avoided them and opted for spinning reelings based on a bad experience I had with a "value priced" baitcast reel many years ago...that reel backlashed and was a nightmare..."

"I got this reel as a Christmas gift so I had to fish it over the Jan 1st Holiday weekend. I paired it with the MoJo Med 6.6 rod and 10 pound test Evolution line and hit the Flats in Loxahatchee."
