The preloaded line casts pretty dang good. The line casts a lot better than what comes with the Reddington Minnow for beginners.
It’s a good deal for the reel combo. The reels look nice, they have a little wobble in one spot if you look very close, but it feels smooth when reeling. No complaints for the cost. Not sure how durable they are yet.

My initial impression is that for under $20, I love the reel. It’s not perfect, but when you factor in the price, it’s nice looking, has an ok drag and seems to work well. The old saying, “Buy cheap, buy twice” definitely seems to fit, but for the purposes and price point I bought it for, I’m thrilled.
I wrote to Maxcatch after receiving my reel because there were some rough/slightly sharp edges on the spool. They immediately sent me a replacement reel, which is awesome. The only thing was that there was a huge difference between the quality and strength of the drag of the two reels (both 7/8 wt). The first reel had a solid, smooth drag, and every click of the drag knob made a gradual change in tension. The replacement reel required several clicks before the drag engaged and started increasing, but the intervals were much less gradual and the drag wasn't nearly as smooth. It went from virtually no drag to max drag too quickly, and the max drag was heavier than the first reel’s max drag.
Pros:
-Maxcatch is very responsive and stands behind their products
-pricepoint
-looks awesome
-has smooth bearings
Cons:
-quality control isn’t great—drag and fit inconsistencies between the two identical reels I have
-fit and finish aren’t perfect—some rough/semi-sharp edges and a tiny bit of spool wobble
-numbers on drag dial aren’t in a logical order (0, 3, 9, 6…hmmm), but who cares?
-(personal preference) the spool rotates freely to reel in line—there is no click on the retrieve or anything that keeps it from a free spin like a spinning reel
