Been researching reels, since I'm in the market again and I'm liking the Santiago's. Prob the best price point per drag ratio. But after reviewing the specs they seem very heavy. I'd like to have some input from owners of these reels about their downfalls or what they dislike if u have any complaints or regrets. Thanks
We've had several SFSC members buy them and be disappointed with parts that were falling off the reels(mostly the 130's).For example the clicker knob/button came off of one 130 ,something we have never had happen with any of our gold reels regardless of brand name.I sure hope the correct the problems because Fin Nor has a lot of fishing history with there previous reels since the 1930's.Here's a little history on the company.
