I am a long time user of pinnacle reels. They have been my favorite brand until now. I needed a cheaper reel due to finances of late. I got this one. Made very poorly. Plastic reel spool and drag nut do not impress me. The reel makes a light grinding noise when reeling line. The drag is constantly loosening on its own. The nut holding the reel handle also comes loose constantly. I would return it to the manufacturer but I do not want a replacement for this poorly made reel.
