I purchased 6 of these release this summer we had multiple out of town guests to take fishing for a day. Out of the 6 reels 2 failed within 100 casts- serious malfunctions rendering the reel useless. I fear that the others will also fail. I requested a refund or replacement reel/s and Pflueger has totally ignored my request. Could it be that this company like so many others are building junk and having to discount just to get them fc the shelf ?

I've used this reel extensively and prefer it over the latest Zebco Platinum which is a good reel but for me has a habit of hanging up on the cast.

Peice of junk bought them for grandkids knots up cuts the line. The newer reels are a lot better so far no problems. Pflueger should be ashamed for putting out a reel like that

Great reels for my grandkids 👍
