Selected User Reviews For KUFA #5/6 Aluminum Fly Reel with One Extra Spool (Large Arbor) FR56S Sports Stainless Steel Hand Gaff, 36", Black
When I came across this item, I was looking for a good deal on a reel and an extra spool. I'm aware of the adage "you get what you pay for," so I decided to take a chance, and when I received this item, I was very pleased with my decision to purchase what I'd compare to an Okuma reel that a friend of mine owns. He had to purchase a spare spool separately, which cost more than the combined cost of my reel and spare spool. The aluminum cast reel is well-made and can easily be switched from right to left-hand cranking. It has a smooth dial disc drag and quick and easy spool exchange. I like how the reel gives me more options when I'm on the lake or going to a small creek or a large river, and all I have to do is decide which spool to use based on the conditions.
It works great, and switching sides and swapping spares is a breeze. It's a good deal in terms of price. All that is required is a bag to store the extras.
It appears to be in good condition. I was supposed to receive something else, but instead I received this. I'll be returning it, but I thought I'd leave a review in the meantime. The reel appears to be well-made. Tolerances appear to be in good working order. I've had similar reels with the line getting caught behind the spool and jamming. With this reel, this isn't a problem. The additional spool is simple to replace. My only criticism is that it does not appear to hold a lot of line, but for $40, it is a good deal.
