Behemoth Fly Fishing Reel, Multipurpose Fly Reel for Freshwater and Saltwater, Large Arbor and Adjustable Drag

This is the second Behemoth I bought and am thoroughly disappointed in the product. They easily go out of round - spool begins to rub on reel cage- after normal use. Reeling becomes squeaky and grinding. One reel is very difficult to turn now and the other one is just too jerky to use while winding. Both reels failed in less than one year's use. There is a very slight wobble between the spool and reel cage already from the factory and the claim is that is normal. None of the other fly reels ever had this problem and yes, they have been dropped also through normal usage.

I put this reel on my rod and instantly started catching fish 12-120x larger than previous before. We are talking giant fish. Bigger than I’ve ever seen before in my life and once I caught a crocodile. Sometimes they even jump inside my boat. Best reel I’ve ever used A++ 10/10 best reel.

No lo aconsejo mucho la verdad.....el freno viene muy duro y no se puede utilizar en tippet finos solo lo utilizo para el lucio ,bass o mar,cierto que tiene gran capacidad para albergar lineas de numeracion mayor y backing.Compre este mismo carrete linea 7/8 en otro lugar y un desastre.El vendedor muy correcto.

Although not a very expensive reel it sure seems to fit the bill for the 5/6 wt rod that I got it for. The drag is a little bit over sensitive. It is large and easy to grab quick when you need to but if you turn it too far you will definitely snap fish off. This drag will hold a D-8 Cat from sliding down an icy hill so you only want to turn it a quarter inch at a time. It seems to balance the rod out pretty good with out being overly heavy.

Great reel. He is an avid fly Fisherman and says its smooth and effortless reeling and casting. Loves the way the line sits in it too. Light weight metal material.
