So far very pleased with my purchase. Got a great deal on a excellent product. Love the simplicity and smooth operation. Friends with much more experience were impressed with the reel as well. I will definitely recommend and purchase more from Sixgill! 4 Cyclone baitcaster Posted by Chris Freeman on 19th Sep 2021 This is my first Sixgill reel and my fist bait caster.

I will definitely recommend and purchase more from Sixgill! 5 Great Real Posted by James Costilo on 17th Sep 2021 Love this real. Easy to get used to. I’m pretty new to bait casters and would recommend this for learning. 5 Fantastic reel Posted by Joe on 15th Sep 2021 I’m not a complete noob to baitcasters, but I’m still learning how to cast pretty consistently without bird nesting. This reel has been AMAZING! I’ll still get the occasional birds nest, but it’s kind of difficult to do that. I have to really screw up to have a mess to clear out. I have turned the tension knob and brakes much lower than I would on any other bait caster and have had no problems, again aside from doing something stupid like hooking a rod behind me during the cast on my kayak :) the retrieve is smooth, drag is plenty good and I can really launch a cast since I can turn everything down on it. Very impressed for such a budget friendly reel!! 2 Feels cheap Posted by KickinBass91 on 14th Sep 2021 Feels cheap to me. I know its only a $110 reel but honestly feels like it should be cheaper than that. I see no difference in the braking system then any other product I've used from other companies in the same price range. Another issue I have(not performance related) is the handle caps keep coming loose and falling off no matter how tight I tighten them down. 5 Cyclone Posted by Matt on 12th Sep 2021 Amazing reel. Casting and catching. I just wish I had more! 5 Bets Value out there and Outstanding Customer Service Posted by Mark P on 9th Sep 2021 Anyone like me who tried a baitcaster and ended up with a tangled mess, try the Cyclone. For around $50 with BYGO, You will finally be able to smoothly cast even in the wind. I am amazed that for this price, you get a quality reel. Try IT. 5 Cyclone Posted by Scott sweat on 9th Sep 2021 What can I say. This is a primo reel. Better than some of the higher priced reps out there. Can't wait to add more to my collection 3 Was hoping for better Posted by Robert Miller on 3rd Sep 2021 I bought 2 of these (on sale) hoping that they would be a possible good replacement for a couple of my other reels. That is not the case. In fact I would rate them nice overall but with inferior cast-ability to even a "Black Max" which gives me at least 15 yards better distance using the same pole, line and lure. Even though I paid over $100 for them I will be putting them in my reel box as back-ups only. Previous Next Previous Next
