Bottom Line
The Speed Spin is a great reel for the price you're paying. It has smooth operation, casts great, and is compatible with all line types. The lightweight graphite housing makes for long hours of comfortable angling and the drag is strong enough to handle all kinds of species. Is this reel going to outperform a Stradic?
