I should start this review by saying I own a ton of products by Fox from bedchairs, Rods, Reels, Bivvys,and etc So this review is not a knock on Fox simply a review on how I feel about the reel. So to start I own this reel for over a year and have purposely waited to hold of on reviewing this reel so i can give it the most fair review I can. So to start the reel does everything it is intended to do. And after a year the reel is still intact and will most likely be fish with for awhile longer. But i will say this. The reel does not perform as well as other reels at the same price point especially when it comes down to spooling line onto reel after a long cast the line. I would also say simply reeling in the reel also doesnt feel all the great for a reel at its price range. To compare it other reels I own and run i say it fits in perfectly around 50$ range. I will also say the reel body could be built better for something at this price point. But its not to bad and live able. But at the end of day the up cost is simply you paying for the name.
I wouldn't recommend someone buying this reel but at the same time i wouldn't be disappointed having to run this reel.

Rolando03/21/2021, 06:15 PMIt took me while to save for 4 of these reels. I'm super glad I did landed a 28lb common first trip out. Used the eos line as well the biterun clutch is super smooth and engages quick I have nothing bad to say about these reels I'm definitely getting a spare or two for back up

Ryan Lopez02/25/2019, 06:27 AMAt this point I finally caught a little 3 lb carp on this reel. The baitrunner functioned perfectly and it was a lot easier to catch this carp as I wasn’t over cranking down my drag like I sometimes do when bringing the fish in. Feel was smooth and casts nicely. I guess I’ll have to wait and see if it is as nice on bigger fish. Good value for the money

I paired these with the 3 piece 12ft fox eos rods & they seriously compliment each other. For the price this offer cannot be beat. I'm fast becoming a big Fox fan. Absolutely awesome products!
