I have the ReelUp HS X6 Elite Baitcaster on a medium rod and it has been a blast so far. Super easy to dial in the brakes and tension, and once it is set it launches baits with very little effort. Casts everything from 3/8 to 1 oz without a fuss and the spool starts up quickly with no weird noises or grinding.

The drag feels strong and consistent and the handle has a nice solid feel with no wobble. Overall it is a smooth, compact reel that fishes way above its price tag. I am honestly impressed and would not hesitate to buy another one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review of your HS X6 Elite Baitcaster. We are glad to hear it was easy to dial in and is casting smoothly for you.

If you ever have any questions about brake settings, line choice, or matching it with a different rod, feel free to reach out to us any time. Tight lines and we hope your ReelUp keeps bringing in more fish on every trip.

Bought X6 a few weeks ago and it has been a solid upgrade for my setup. The reel feels tight and well built with no cheap play in the handle, and the retrieve is smooth even under load. The drag is strong and easy to dial in, and the stainless spool handles braid without any issues.
Casting is where this reel really shines. Once I spent a few minutes fine tuning the brakes, I was sending 3/8 to 1/2 oz baits a long way with very few backlash problems. It balances nicely on my medium heavy rod and does not feel bulky after a full day on the water. For the price, this is a great everyday baitcaster and I would buy another one without thinking twice.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're really glad to hear the reel has been performing smoothly for you and that the drag system delivered when it mattered.
Matching it with the right rod and braid truly unlocks its full potential, and we're happy to know the braid-ready spool made your setup easier.
If you ever land a memorable fish with it, feel free to tag us- we'd love to celebrate the catch with you. Happy fishing!

I picked up the X1 baitcaster and was impressed right from the start. Out of the box it feels solid and lightweight, and after a quick spool-up and a few basic adjustments, my very first cast had zero backlash. It's honestly one of the easiest baitcasters I've used.

Sure, you can make it backlash like any reel if you really mis-cast, but under normal conditions it stays clean and controlled. The light 7g spool and smooth bearings help a ton with that.

Thanks so much for the great feedback! We're really happy to hear your X1 performed smoothly right out of the box,that light spool and ceramic bearing system were designed exactly for that clean, easy casting experience.

Nice and easy-to-use baitcaster. Right out of the box, the reel felt smooth and well-built. I spooled it up, made the initial adjustments, and on the very first cast there was no birdnest at all. It's super beginner-friendly. Of course, like any baitcaster, you can make it birdnest if you miscast, but under normal use it stays controlled and predictable.
What surprised me most is that I actually prefer this over my more expensive baitcaster. It's easy to fine-tune, and the drag feels solid and reliable. Overall, a great reel that performs way above its price.

Thank you so much for the great feedback! We're really glad to hear that your X1/X6 performed smoothly right out of the box and gave you a clean first cast with no birdnesting. Our lightweight spool and ceramic bearing options are designed exactly for that easy, controlled casting experience.
You're absolutely right, any baitcaster can birdnest with a miscast, but it's great to hear that this reel stays consistent and predictable for you. We're also honored that you prefer it over some of your higher-priced reels.
If you ever need help with tuning, brake settings, or choosing a different bearing configuration for your next setup, feel free to reach out anytime. Thank you again for choosing ReelUp, and we wish you smooth casts and great catches ahead!
