I have used these reels over the last 4 years and they stand up to heavy use well for being so inexpensive. Drag is relatively smooth and no lockup. They are light on the grease so would recommend loading them up with a quality lube will make the gears last longer.

This reel is only for a very casual, small game angler. In all honestly, the reel is not reliable or even good, but for 17.99, it's a deal. Just expect to have to buy another one every season if you fish saltwater. In freshwater, this reel would perform fairly well.
Excellent smoothness and reliability

Shimano's FX FB reel is a good example quality which is demonstrated in the reel. The reel is smooth, durable and can be used in both fresh and saltwater. And if used, little maintenance is required. The reel is not very heavy and quite compact for a reel with many features.
Great reel for the $

Is this reel good for Surf fishing or hitting the inter-coastal canals?

Armando this is not the best reel for saltwater fishing, it does not have any protection from salt water. If you are looking for a great reel for canal and surf fishing take a look at the Stradic Fj.

We do not have a video for maintaining this reel. Rinse it with freshwater after each use in saltwater. Wipe down the exterior of the reel with a clean cloth that has been sprayed with WD-40. For info on interior maintenance, please contact Shimano dire
