Rated 5 out of 5Â by Painfulstingers Answer to Sand problem
I surf fish for corbina in so cal. The problem is the sand, I dont care how much you spend on a spinner if a wave breaks on it, its done. This can happen when your unhooking a fish or just drop it for some reason, sooner or later its gonna get sand in it. For this reason I refuse to spend big bucks on spinners and I've tried a lot of different cheap reels. This one is the best I've found period. Its smooth reeling, smooth drag and casts very well. I was impressed by the feel of it as soon as I bought and used it once. Only bad thing is the cheap plastic handle. If I get sand in the reel I toss it and get another.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Matri Good for the money
Lightweight, cheap and relatively durable. For $20 this is a great starting reel for most. I know old timers who use these and the rear drag ones over any other reel. They break....toss them and buy a brand new one!

On some models or spinners the drag adjustment is on the rear or the reel. However on MOST spinning reels it is located in front on top or the spool.
A:Â
Have you ever seen those reels that have the drag control at the top of the spool, and the big black knob at the bottom for controlling the drag as well? Shakepeare makes a lot of front/rear drag reels. Not many reels have rear drag, almost every spinning reel you'll see is front drag because the knob on the top of the spool controls that line tension. So that's all that's meant by 'front drag', it's a way to differentiate between those rare and out-dated rear drag systems lol hope this helps!

Front drag means that the drag tension adjustment is on top of the spool. Almost all spinning reels are this way. Rear drag is when the adjustment knob is on the very rear/back of the reel like the old Shimano speedmaster series.1 of 1
