Pros
For the price this reel is unbeatable in my opinion for 5 weight and below. I can see where the drag may lack some once you get into the heavier line weights but I have two (3 wt and 5 wt) and have no significant complaints.
Cons drag may not hold up on the heavier line weights.

Pros
Solid quality...really low price. The 3/4 has a little more weight to it than other small reels which makes it balance nicely with smaller cane rods. btw the 3/4 I have is click and pawl which I prefer for light rods and tippets.
Cons none.... but it's not a Hardy.

Pros
Very serviceable reel--drag is smooth and has continuous adjust. I have used it for everthing from bluegills to salmon, with no problems. I now have four of them and gave one each to my 3 grandkids. A great value.
Cons doesn't like to be dropped on the pavement.
