I picked up the 10K size for offshore and heavier surf work, and I couldn't be happier with it. The reel feels very solid in the hand with its full metal build, and the casting distance is impressive. I'm able to get my baits way out there with minimal effort.
The drag works great even under strong loads, and everything stays smooth during long fights. I've used it on several trips now, including strong current and bigger fish, and it has handled everything without hesitation. Even after rinsing off salt and sand, it still feels tight and quiet. For the quality, strength, and long-casting performance you get at this price point, this reel is a winner.
Thank you so much for your awesome review!
We are really glad to hear the FB Series reel has been performing well for you in both offshore and heavier surf situations. The long casting design and strong, smooth drag are exactly what this series was built for, so it's great to know it's living up to expectations out on the water.
Your note about the reel holding up after multiple trips and salt exposure really means a lot - durability is something we take seriously with this model. If you ever need setup tips, spare spools, or rod pairing suggestions, feel free to reach out anytime.
Thanks again for choosing ReelUp, and tight lines on your next adventure!
Purchased the 10K for offshore fishing. It is large for a 10K. Have been using it for a week and have had no issues bringing in multiple 35-60lb fish without issue. Will see how it holds up against heavier fish, but seems to be built really well. I also like being able to toggle the switch to let line out without opening the bail. Definitely happy with the purchase.
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for putting the 10K straight to work offshore. It's great to hear it has handled multiple 35-60 lb fish without any issues and that the size and build feel right for what you're targeting.
We're also glad you're enjoying the switch to let line out without opening the bail that's one of those small features that can make a big difference on the water.
If you ever run it into heavier fish or tougher conditions and have more thoughts to share, we'd love to hear how it holds up over time. In the meantime, thanks again for choosing ReelUp, and tight lines out there!
This is hands down the best saltwater-ready reel I've used so far. Took it out on the first trip and brought in a limit of keeper togs without breaking a sweat. The retrieve is incredibly smooth, and the full-metal build feels solid in the hand, giving you the confidence to muscle in hard-fighting fish fast.
What really impressed me is how well it handles saltwater. A lot of budget reels start showing corrosion after one splash, but this one stays clean and smooth thanks to the passivated gears and solid construction. For the performance you get, the value is unreal. If you want a reel that can handle real saltwater abuse without costing a fortune, this is the one.
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback and for putting your ReelUp reel straight into saltwater duty. It is great to hear it handled a full day of tog fishing, stayed smooth, and gave you the leverage you needed on those hard fighters.
Your experience means a lot to us.
I paired the GL series with my 12' surf rod and 55 lb braid, it holds a ton of line. I've taken it to the beach multiple times and it's handled 3-4 ft sharks without any trouble. Casting distance is great too; with a 6 oz weight I can easily send bait far out. There's been no noticeable salt or sand inside the gears so far. Not perfect, but definitely a strong performer for the price.
hank you so much for the detailed feedback! We're glad to hear the GL series is performing well on your surf setup-especially with strong fights like 3-4 ft sharks. Its sealed design and passivated gears are made exactly for that kind of saltwater environment.
If you ever need spare spools, line recommendations, or gear pairing tips, feel free to reach out anytime. Tight lines!
This 3500 reel is genuinely well built. It feels solid, smooth, and reliable on the water, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone. I've tested a lot of reels over the years, and I'm always honest when something doesn't perform well. But this one has been impressive from the start. For the price, the quality is much better than I expected.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the FB 3500. It really means a lot to hear such positive feedback from someone who has used and tested many reels over the years. We're glad to know the 3500 feels solid, smooth, and reliable on the water.
