Ecooda Maelstrom Baitrunner With Spare Spool Spinning Fishing Reel #review

I received this fishing reel at no cost to me in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
 
I already took this reel out to the port Isabel bay on a charter trip. I used 20lb line and a medium sized rod with this reel. Unfortunately there where no huge catches but I did catch a few whitings. I had a great experience with my rod and reel unlike others next to me including my father.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a spinning fishing reel that comes with 2 spools. One is for salt water fishing and the other for fresh water. I was really impressed by the idea and actual practicality.
I went ahead and installed the salt water spools and installed 20lb line. I had no problems putting line on it.
 
Casting 5/5
I had 0 problems with casting with this reel. Not once did it lock up,  snag or get tight. I was able to cast often and easily which is something I feel is super important for any fisherman who wants to enjoy a his time in the water.
Reeling in 5/5
I had great response and sensitivity when using this reel. It was smooth throughout the whole process and never tangled my line.
Design and Innovation 5/5
I love the color scheme and design.  Overall I got an aggressive feel and look from it. One of the best features is the lower drag line option. It is a click able on/off lever under the reel. You also still have the wheel adjustment drag on top but being able to set on and off so easily is awesome.

Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Camping and Emergency Lantern Review




Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Camping and Emergency Lantern  
                     


I received this at no cost for my honest review and opinion. I bought cheap D batteries for it, it uses 3 D batteries.

Pros:
Extremely easy to work you just press the button for on, press again for brighter, and then for emergency.
Its bright enough for various uses.
Its very light weigh and easy to carry.
Its compact so it doesn't take up much space so its very portable.
It runs on batteries and not ignitable fuel
It has a variety of brightness, brighter, brighter, and signal.


Cons:
I wish the carry handle had an adaptor or hook so you could place it on a place or adhere to your clothing so your hands could be free.
The light settings seem to be Bright, a little Brighter and signal light I wish the first one could of been low light.


Overall its a great lantern and its definitely worth a buy.
