h20 express mettle

somebody on here posted something about the h20 mettle reels...do you like them??

i picked up 1 today and, im not real impressed with it...it backlashes/overruns ALOT....

if i pitch with it, its fine, but casting results in an overrun every single time...

i realize its only A 50 dollar reel, but it has to be better than its acting right now...

how do you have the brakes set?? it came 3 out, 3 in... im gonna play with it a little bit...if i cant get it worked out, its going back for credit on a citica...

I never had a problem with them. Pull all the brakes out then go from there. you should be able to cast that thing a mile.

oh it will cast a mile alright... my thumb cant keep up with the spool...

ok, got all the brakes out...its better...

Yea they don't come set, you have to adjust the internal brakes. Solid reel for the money and I like em.

Will have to look into that on mine, not having problems, but if it makes it better, I will try it. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Roger, just remember where you started if your not having any prob but want to play with it. I def have to adjust mine if I go from something real light to something heavy.

returned two the otehr day that the gears were going out but i got two brand new H2O. Besides my quantams, you cant beat these reels especially the 100$ menice

well i fished with it today.... then i boxed it up and brought it back...

in my opinion, its junk...too "clunky".....but, it is a 50 dollar reel....

i got my money back, im just gonna get more citicas....

$25 in the fall. It's not a real low profile but it's bad. I think it cranks better than my citicas. You know what opinions are like thought. Y'all prob never crank deep down there anyway

deep?? you talkin about deeper than 4 or 5 feet?? i think i cranked in 8 or 9 feet one time...

I've got 2 that I use for cranks and top water. Put floro on both. I really like them for the price, haven't had one issue.

I've got 4 H2O and if i need to buy some more reels thats what im going with
