The reel seems clunky and not very smooth in it's retrieval ... it seems to be made well but I have less expensive reels which preform much better ... overall I am unsatisfied with the product. I would not buy another one ... It works ... just not that impressed with it.

I have been pleasantly surprised with this reel. For its price-point it is precise, solid and light weight. One great thing about it that I did not see in any descriptions or reviews is that the gray color (gunmetal) is HARD ANODIZED. For what it's worth, I like the contrasting orange/rose gold anodized spokes of the spool too. Negatives for me would be the clearance between the line and the frame of the reel when fully loaded with 100 yards of 20# backing and 100 ft. of 6X fly line. I am using 5X with no problem there. I think so highly of this reel, that I just bought a 3/4 Dragonfly to add to the arsenal. Others have mentioned that the clicker is annoying. If it bothers you, it is easy to remove. And finally, I do not believe that spare spools are available. Wright and McGill does not show them on their website, and I have not seen them anywhere else. I have a solution though. Buy a complete reel as your spare. For the price, it is a great value.Read full review

Bought a 5/6 recently and took it to Arkansa fly fishing. Does not have tight tolerances and is "clunky" on retrieve. My first Of these reel and the last. I have 9 fly rods in various weights with high price/low price/ two medium priced reels and this is the worst of all. Greatly disappointed in the reviews left for this reel because they praised it so much. Spend your money on some other reel.

The reel itself is quality built machine aluminum and very nice looking, however the drag is of poor quality. Not smooth at all, jumpy and clunky.
