I have waited long enough for people to respond to me with permission about reviewing the gear they produce. Time to get the reviews started.
Rhino RBC300
Do you like birds? If you answered yes, then you will love making their nests with every cast.
So this particular baitcaster usually comes in a combo with a 6ft "indestructible" rod. The rod is not by any means an expensive rod, just like this is not an expensive reel. Anyways back to the reel, I have noticed that quality is comparable to price in the baitcaisting world, and this is at the lower end of each.

Now be warned, these all sound like great additions to a cool looking reel, and who knows they might be. I sure had issues with making this work for me however.
3-Bearing drive
Machine-cut solid brass gears
Right-hand retrieve
Continuous Anti-Reverse
Star-adjustable Rhino drag
Low-profile design
DynaMag cast control

Okay, so the quality of this is lacking, it looks like it would just feel like a quality reel, with all the contrasting colors. I was in love with it when I first saw it 6 years ago at Wal-mart. That should have been my first warning not to get in that boat. To be honest this ruined everything about wanting to have a baitcaster, Using this reel I became fluent in the language of the sailor. The tension knob fell off my second time using this reel, the instructions on how to use this reel are lacking severely. Although I was able to create many nests for surrounding birds, i think they were happier then I was.
Final
2 1/2 stars out of 5
Okay, so I really didn't know what else to say about this reel, if you are on a budget and are just aching to get a new reel, you could get this one with a rod for about $40 I believe. I would however just wait, buy something that has quality to it. The rod, is a nice rod however (worth probably 30 of the 40 dollars.) All-in-all just save your money and get a baitcaster that has been proven. It only received the score it did because it has the makings of a good reel but very very poor execution.
Side note: Next review will be better, with a more positive attitude throughout.
This is very informative article about ffishing reel. thanks for sharing this post.
ReplyDeleteI have not use this particular reel but have had good luck with cheaper and more expensive reels both. I have used reels that people hate and gave poor reviews too because they really didn't know how to adjust or cast them or how to change their style so that the real work and unfortunately so many baitcasting reels are a little more complicated to use then spinning and spincast reels.they're for reals that are just fine get bad reviews cuz the reviewer really doesn't know how to throw them cast them adjust them Etc.
ReplyDeletewell here's a follow-up to my post just above this one I actually found a brand new in the box rhino wheel I found it on eBay and I have married it with a rhino rod and I must say I am quite pleased with the real it is well-built casts a mile seems to operate very smoothly and the backlash is no different than I have experience with other reels in the 40 to $50 mark. And I stick with my original theme of a lot of people post reviews on baitcasters before they've given them a true effort because baitcaster truly need a little more learning curve than the other types of reels I'm happy with this it's turning to be a very good reel maybe one of my go to rods and reel. I can't attest to its durability but it seems well made and has met my expectations in this level of a real I would buy another.
