hey guys, come on, nobody ever heard of those reels ???

:(

[finga]

I heard of them.
I've never seen one.
Never used one.

People won't pass comment until they've seen one, used one and near killed one IMO.

If they are cheap, and you have money to burn then go for it...

Well I guess if you guys in Australia haven't tried them or even heard of them, it must be some "made in China" bullshit... :bomb:

>:(


thanks mates and happy new year, I suppose it's already Jan. 1st on the other side of the planet

;D

I've just got a couple of baitcasters from this mob an they are not too shabby.8-)

I am pretty sure, they are made by MAXEL.
MAXEL is the best overhead alloy manufacturer in China,

The ebay prices are almost as cheap as the factory price.

There is 4 main contractors for that reel type in China, 3 are rubbish, 1 is the best of the 4 (Maxel)

They are the only one that makes everything up to 130SW reels.

If the body shape is not eactly the same as the MAXEL ones, then YES they are rubbish, the 2 speed mech will stick, the others use cr#p drag materials etc.
