GF Spinning

I love these reels

They are the best reels hands down compared to any other ones out there in the market.

GF 1000 reels

I purchased 2 GF 1000 spinning reels and have put them through the paces over the last few months in varying conditions and presentations for Walleye. At this point, I probably have upwards of 60 hours per reel and they still perform like they just came out of the box. I am very happy with the craftmanship and durability of these reels. I rigged one reel with 8lb mono and the other with an 8lb braid. Spooling the reels with line, both mono and the braid laid level across the spool and even after thousands of casts and varying retrieving resistance loads. The line on the spool is always perfectly level and this results in excellent casting distances. One lesson learned worth mentioning, don’t over pack mono on the GF spool. This will lead to line slipping down the spool and then you will end up reeling line up underneath the spool. My first outing in strong winds casting light jigs with my mono reel I encountered line tangles under the spool. The remedy, I trimmed about 15-20 yards off the spool and the problem when away without sacrificing any casting distance. I am now on my second spool of mono on this reel and I have not had this issue happen again. To date, my braid reel has performed flawlessly. I am impressed with the GF performance, weight, smoothness and drag at this price point. It’s a great reel and I’m hooked, I’ll be purchasing more.

Great Reel at a Great Value

This reel stands up to the test of Great Lakes smallmouth. These fish require a smooth drag, long casts, and durability. This reel provides all 3!
