These are simply not great as many have specified. I have bought two of these and have lubed and rinsed them after every trip. I have been a penn person for a long time but now I am switching to quantum because I bought two of these and when I had a fish on these drags were locking up. These reels drag is terrible and not smooth at all.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by FishingFanatic0302 Best Inshore/light offshore reel ever
I bought two of these reels and could have never been more happy! I spooled each with 15 pound mono and took them snook fishing. My first hookup was into a 15 pound snook and the penn handle dthe snook with ease, its also heavy enough to bottom fish but light enough to throw lures with, must buy!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by VirginIslandFishing Excellent reel!
I have had one of these for the longest time. It has always performed extremely well. I have caught everything from snapper to tarpon.

I was wondering about how big this reel is? I am looking to use it for bass fishing, I usually use a real that is lower 8oz. would you say this reel is bigger than other reels? and what other reel would this reel compare to, as far as size? thank-you very muchAnswers

This reel is pretty heavy (as in weight) for bass fishing. What you are getting with that weight is saltwater durability.I would suggest an older version of the Shimano Stradic if you want serious value for your dollar. A 2500 should be fine for bass. The 2500 Saros is another great reel for the price.
The SSG is a pretty compact reel but it is not very smooth and you can find some great reels for similar money that have better attributes. Again, for freshwater reels there are a ton of good options, but if you are planning on using it for very light saltwater applications it should be fine.
I hope this helps

Im looking at the 430ssg, is it smooth enough that it is effortless? thank-youAnswers
A:Â
Definitely not! trust me the drag catches so bad and is to me one of the worst drags ever. Try quantum or shimano. There betterTop 50 Contributor

My initial answer is, no.Compared to my Shimano reels and Penn's Battle and Conquer reels this is not very smooth.
It is not rough or "gritty" but smooth is relative to what you are used to. I can give a hard crank to the handle of my Shimano Saros or Stradic and it spins "effortlessly" after my hand is off the handle.
The SSG will continue to spin after a few cranks, but it does wobble a bit.
I hope this helps

I have the 440 and assuming that each of these reels are the same- only scaled differently- the 430 should be very smooth. My 440 is VERY smooth for a saltwater marketed reel. Hope this helps1 of 1
