Genesis ONE Baitcast Reel

Super awesome reel, the store always has the newest and best gear. so happy to have a local tackle store like this one :)

I've heard lots of hype about this reel for a while now. I pulled the trigger and paired it with an 8' Heavy Power, Fast Action rod. Ideally, this would be a perfect setup for my wife, or any other new to musky anglers on my boat.

The hype is reel, no pun intended. Any baitcaster can birdcage, and it has, but only twice during a hard full week of fishing. This was her first time ever using a baitcaster, and mind you, the 2 birds nest were so minute, I was able to just pull a couple arm lengths of line out and she's reeling again before the bait hits bottom. Line never bit into the spool or anything on both occasions.

The only negative I figure on this reel is the line guide does not follow the line coming off the spool while casting like most other 400$ reels. However, I will take that trade off any day of the week, for a reel that doesn't birdcage.

Merci Super produit.
