I think the cast X is the ultra budget king, other reels competing with it are either worse or more expensive. I've used a few at that price point and its very solid.

I own both a Daiwa Coastal and a Curado 201M and im probably going to buy this Megacuda. Seems to have pretty deep spool and that is one thing the Curado fails me at, need to run relatively thin braid on it for my pike fishing. Coastal/Tatula 200 has a lot more line capacity. This looks even better. The reel handle looks exactly like the handle on the ABU Revo Beast and that is one nice handle. Yeah, im going to give this one a try. Cost peanuts to the other reels i have, only thing missing is different gear ratios.. i prefer HG reels. Ill guess this one with that ratio has an IPT of around 28-30". 32,2" is my preferred one for swimbaits.

The biggest fear I have on cheap reels is that the bearings are not properly rust-proof. One dash of water and they sound like you are griding coffee.

they do use cheaper quality bearings, but, if i could save much more money for the features this reel could offer i'd be servicing this reel every time i go salt water fishing. or maybe use the additional savings to upgrade to some higher quality bearings

There is a drag test of this reel else where came to ~7kg. Considering they claim 15kg its less than half. Can you tie to a water jug and test it? I have a tranx500 and its like your winding on thin air its just ridiculous. I am looking for a cheap thrasher setup to practice on but can be trusted to still work well. The seasir commando gets amazing reviews.
@dbbfishing252811 ай бұрын
I like the commando a lot! I’ll have to test the drag and see where it lands at. I’ve got spooled with 20lb big game and I just got the last reel I’ve been waiting on to test all the budget swimbait reels and see what’s what
@Side85Winder11 ай бұрын
@dbbfishing2528 looking forward to see what the drag can do 20lb is 9kg which i think is a decent amount. Few other questions the spool shaft is it steel? What do you think of the reel size compared to others, most swimbait reels are 300. What size do you think this is? My tranx is kinda big at 500 but for what i use it for chasing medium sized kingfish and tuna its like a game reel with a line guide.

@dbbfishing2528 it will probably make a really good bottom bashing and lighter jigging reel as well, deffently has the capacity to go deep. Deppending on The drag capacity is going to determin how big you can go. Lots here love overhead baitcasters and just dig their thumb into the spool 🤣. I am thinking one of those rods from aliexpress with 2 tips a light and heavy 8-12lb and 12-17lb for australian whiting and snapper would be a killer setup.
