I’ve now bought two of these bait caster reels and they both have come broken, one had a tensioner lever broken off and the other the mag brake lever to keep it in place was broken and I couldn’t even spool the reel without it coming off. Definitely do not purchase these as they are very very low quality spend a few extra dollars to get something of better quality sure wish I did.

This was the 5th cadence reel I have bought. I now have two vigors and three essence reels in left and right hand retrieve and different ratios. Out of the box they a very good, but not quite as refined as an SLX. Meaning the bearings on the cadence reels have to be worked in a little bit to loosen up. On all my reels I will disassemble and add my own oil. Once I did this I had a $40+ reel that compares to the mid level shimanos. All of these come with carbon fiber washers out of the box and are very smooth. The cast control is perfect and adjusts just as well as any other reel I have had and comes with the bonus of not having to remove anything and flip magnets.If there is a downside compared to what some folks feel is important, it’s the composite material body. For me, this is more of an upsell feature than a critical feature for my fishing. I use the Cadence vigor reel for frogging and punching and have zero issues with flex or roll of the reel. Is there a chance that a composite body reel could twist and crack, I’d say about a snowballs chance if the reel is seated properly and secure. Even if these are used for steelhead and smaller salmon I would have no problem using them for side drifting, trolling plugs, or back bouncing.Bottom line, my opinion is these are better than the JDM shimano reels like the bass rise or bass one xt out of the box. After I remove the spool and add the oil I like and break those bearings in, it’s just as good as an SLX at 1/3 the price. If you want to try baitcasting then these are your reels because it won’t break the bank and you will not need to upgrade. If you are experienced and just want a solid reel to add to the rack, grab the vigor or CB8.
