Strong reel with plenty of power for many species of fish! Casting is smooth and effortless for using small baits..... swimbaits.

Very nice lightweight reel. Looking for increased line capacity in Jigging reel, but reel foot too big for my Fuji reel seat.

Excellent reel. Smooth operation.
Right-Handed, but wanted to try LH since I spin and fly fish reeling left-handed.
Fast shipping. Thanks!!

Love this reel! Recently got one and use it for fishing in the northeast. Lots of power, strong steady
retrieve .. very, very smooth I wanted to lighten the load and this will be my all around go to reel for haddock,
Pollock, Red fish, Blues, Stripers, Sea Bass and Porgies. It has the power to be used on larger fish but it's so
light and comfortable to use .. read more very impressive for it's size. Love it!!

Paired this with a Shimano Type J and its phenomenal for vertical jigging / bottom fishing. Got a black fin tuna on it and numerous kings. Brought in a 12lb king with ease with this reel. Takes everything I throw at it. Type J is a must for this reel and jigging.

Great reel!

I love this reel. Everything about it shouts quality. From the appearance, smooth cranking and drag, there's nothing to not like. Well, maybe the price, but you do get what you pay for!

Good buy

Diana really scored with this new version of the 15. Just a great reel in every way. Sleek, light, holds lots of line, and the lock mechanism is cool too..perfect for togging deep. A bit pricey but love it!!!

I'm in love with this reel!

Asked by Thuan Tran 4 years ago

Hello, the 15HL looks to be largest Left Hand retrieve.  Would this be ideal for rail rod for  YFT  around San Diego up to 50lbs??

Does these reels come with a reel clamp?

Kaitryn 8 years ago

No, they do not come with a clamp.

Asked by bunker 8 years ago

what line brand/ lb test would you use on the 15h for the northeast bass/blues/tog? do you need to put mono first then the braid?

Kaitryn 8 years ago

I, personally, would use 30lb test of Power Pro spectra in the moss green. I feel as though the Power Pro Slick is not as durable as the original Power Pro and for this specific reel there is not reason to go with the Slick. The original Power Pro will su

Asked by Jim 9 years ago

How much wider is the 15H spool compared to the 10 H spool. Which is closest in width to the Shimano Trinidad 14A?

The 10 and the 15 are both very similar in size, the 15 is just a bit bigger. The Shimano Trinidad 14 is wider than both of those reels by a good amount.
