Once again, Bass Pro Shops® has made a great thing even better! Johnny Morris® Signature Series Spinning Reels represent excellent quality AND exceptional value. For the record, our no-compromise approach not only produces a high-performance reel, but with regular maintenance, one that will be around for years to come.
Our latest iteration features a skeletonized rotor and frame for smooth, resistance-free performance. Bass Pro Shops' Mag Spool Technology™ utilizes a 30% wider spool than most standard spinning reels, delivering longer casts, better line lay, smoother drag, and far less line twist. And talk about smooth, an 11-bearing system includes our Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse. An ultra-slim, sealed aluminum body design turns in tournament-proven performance every time. Johnny Morris Signature Series Spinning Reels use shielded stainless steel ball bearings and a sealed carbon fiber drag. Other features include an aluminum spool, brass pinion gear, stainless steel main shaft, zinc alloy drive gear, and a machined-aluminum handle with a comfortable, ribbed TPE handle knob. What's more, each of these spinning reels comes with a FREE braid-ready spare aluminum spool, except the JMS50 model, which comes with a regular spool.
Line recovery in inches per handle turn.

These are greatI own 9 of these JM spinning reels and 6 JM baitcasters. I have never had a single problem with ANY of them. After reading the reviews, I was almost hesitant to purchase my 9th one. But I fish every day for 4 months in Florida and then the rest of the year in WI. These are the best reels I have ever owned. I have caught hundreds of bass with these and a few Muskys. Look at what the pros use on the fishing shows, JM!

My favorite reel out there!I have had this reel for a while now, I love it! Super smooth, long, controlled casts. Very nice reel. The large arbor is the nicest feature, highly suggest picking one up.

It’s pretty straight but few flawsOkay, here the only review you need to read cuz I’ve had two, the smaller model and the bigger model. I’ve fished them for a few years now. For the price, if it lasts over two years, I’m happy. I abuse stuff a little after the newness wares off but for two seasons it was babied a little. The wide spool is what sucked me in and it also comes with an extra spool. I wanted longer casting and room to blow some line. Great for that. I love the reel......BUT......the handle(arm)(thumb and pointy finger touch) well, where that attaches to the body is a female/male gear that turns the real...one is metal and one is plastic. Do the math. Customer service has been great through basspros as always and they sent me a replacement which I blew out on both reels. If they could fix that this reel would be the shiznit.

Disappointed...I have changed the line from 2 different mono's and 10 lb braid and like others I could not get this reel to cast very far. I am 66 yrs old and have fished all my life so I m no newbie here. I wish I had a refund. I have reels at half the price that cast twice as far. How does Johnny Morris put his name to something that performs so poorly?

Love/Hate....I have owned 4 or 5 of these, and I'm just about to buy another. Why would I love/hate something I buy repeatedly? I buy the high speedJMS20H for Salmon and Steelhead fishing from the shore on rivers big and small in the PNW. There is no other reel with 19.5 lbs of drag that retrieves anywhere near 39" of line per turn and weighs remotely close to 10.5 oz. Since I use 12lb Nanofil (which I personally tested to a 22-25lb breaking strength) I can comfortably spool 150 yards on this reel. This combo with a good rod can handle big fish and not wear out your arm with the hundreds of casts made on a long day chasing fish.
Unfortunately they are very poorly made reels- and I buy the $100 version. At this point I take them apart, put much better lube in them, tighten all the fasteners so they don't loosen up and cause the mechanism to tighten and jam. It is really easy to break these in frustration if they start tightening up halfway through the first day of using them. The signature series does not suffer from the line cutting into the bail issue other here note, but the self tapping screws and plastic parts throughout all contribute to a fragile unreliable reel with very desirable and a still remarkable performance package.
I would pay more for a non junk version.
Tight Lines!

Johnny Morris Model Casts FartherWe have two of the reels and they have both performed like we want reels to work. The wider spool seems to allow the braided line to cast farther and the drag allows the bigger red fish to do what they do before we bring them to the boat. We really like them and will buy more as our budget allows...

I am having difficulty removing the side cover on my JMS20H spinning reel. The unit will not separate after I removed the handle and all of the screws
I have tried wiggling the side plate while gently pulling upward and backward, but I am hesitant to put any muscle on it for fear of creating damage.
Asked by: JohnnyAngel
1) Remove spool and handle
2) Remove drag gear and washer from spool shaft
3) Remove keeper screw and nut that hold the rotor on
4) Remove rotor
5) Remove rear butt cap
6) Remove the 4 screws holding the side plate on
7) Pull straight up to remove the side plate

Stainless Interior Parts?
What is this newer JM series using for internal parts, Stainless Steel or lesser quality material that will corrode easily?
Asked by: Larry4Bass
not sue about interior parts but my experience in fresh water is the coatings on the bail flakes off and so it will be worse in salt water!
They need to fix this quality control issue
