Red Man RD1000 Aluminum Balanced Fishing Reel (11cm*13cm*3.8cm)

Pros: The price is very attractive. It has 5 bearings. Its handle can be bended just by a button. It could be a smooth reel if you know how to open it and add grease and oil on it. Distribution of line on the reel is acceptable--not perfectly distributed on the reel, but is not very uneven.

Cons: The frame and the reel is only plastic. Anti-reverse did not work when I got it. I found that some screws are smoothed by screw driver when I tried to open it to fix it. Obviously it is a defective product. I can open it with a power screw driver. There is lack of grease and oil inside, but it becomes very smooth when I add some grease and oil on the main bearing and rotor. The anti-reverse also comes back when I replace all the parts together

Other: I am glad to buy this reel become it is cheap and becomes a smooth reel eventually. But I also feel lucky just because I am experience in fixing fishing reel. Don't risk your money if you know nothing about it

Pros: Really satisfied with this purcase! The reel is made of aluminium, it has five ball bearings, which is great! The size is small, but it is suitable for float fishers. The handle can be adjusted for right and left hand. There advance mechanism which is precise. The kit does not include a spare spool. Compare with the prices in Bulgaria, it is very cheap. Really good, quality made fishing reel.

Cons: The kit does not include a spare spool.

Other: If you liked the reel purchase it - you will not regret it!
