Summer and Centron Spinning Reels, 12 +1 BB Light Weight & Ultra Smooth Reel for Ice/Summer 3000/1000 Fishing Reel by QINGLER

The reel is smooth, no noise, has anti reverse, nice wooden-looking handle, and looks killer! It's a perfect size for my portable rod setup and is not too heavy or light. I like it just fine. Drag specs are great for how small it is too. Pictures attached how it looks spooled on a rod with lure. Cheers!Rod I paired it to: Ice Fishing Rod, 23" Ultralight Ice Spinning Rods Sensitive Ice Fishing Pole Winter Ice Fishing Gear for Walleye Perch Panfish BluegillEdit: I spooled the reel with 6 lb test and it took more line than I thought it would to spool (not a bad thing at all). Got it up and running and added pictures of the fish it caught. Edited my face out because I was smiling like a big dork when it caught.

Surprisingly great quality! I'll probably get another soon!

The crank handle knob could be bigger for easier grip, but the reel itself functions good

Good buy

I purchased these because they were a great value. This reel did end up breaking due to poor quality materials used when building. However the drag was good, it was smoothe reeling, casting was OK, cool lookin and simple to use. It just didn't hold up very long. I'd recommend spending a little more money and getting a reel that will last

Seems like a really nice reel. Has some weight. Sure it does not hold a lot of line but i believe it will work fine for my needs. Id love to get some line on it but the pole i ordered didnt show up as it was suppose to have done today. Guess ill have to wait a couple of days.

Cheap get what you pay for I caught 4 smallmouths on this reel with a 7ft ugly stick and the bearings were junk after 4 fish it seized up at the end of the fight on fish number 4 and the bearings literally disintegrated

Caveats:a) As stated by others it does NOT have "12 quality stainless steel ball bearings" or "12+1" ball bearings (as in 13, but rather "12 [sleeve] bearings + 1 ball bearing";b) It does not have an "instant stop one-way anti-reverse bearing" (implying a one-way clutch), but rather a "stepped" pawl and ratchet system--the system is silent;Nonetheless it is--at least for now, still new-- a well-balanced, budget priced, and smooth operating compact reel, a bit too small for my fat arthritic swollen knuckles.No literature is included, however the box labeling claims it to be constructed of "corrosion resistant TITAN graphite", this bourne out when held by it's feel the in the hand (heat dissipation, weight, resilience, etc.)The the pinion is brass and the spool is machined aluminum as claimed;The handle on the SY1000 model has a very simple single pivot point folding mechanism that seems more robust than the more complex design used on the 3000 series model.The line spools nicely; I used 10 lb. Spiderwire EZ (0.18 mm dia.) and it nicely holds 150+ metres of same.Ii is nice looking, appearing more expensive than it is. I like it, for the $$ it is hard to beat.Recommended...
