This is the third Shimano Hyperloop I own. I lost the other two over the ship's side. 100% user error! Great reels for the price (although they've gone up in price since I first got them about 5 years ago. I think that's a testament to how popular they are). Easy to use and very well made. Looks more expensive than it is. Mine didn't seize up with salt water like other cheap coils I've had. Ideal for spin fishing for mackerel from the bank, float fishing or shallow water fishing from the boat. Limited spool depth so not suitable for thicker line - ideal for 6-8lbs.
