"...Largest bass to date."

This is my largest bass to date. It weighted in at 14.44lbs. and was caught on your reel. Believe me, that drag is smooth. Fishing with 8lb. test line, a smooth drag is paramount. I caught this fish Dec. 23,2006 not long after dark. Had I known how big the fish was I might not have landed it so easily. The reel casts and handles great even with a monster on the other end of the line. I am looking forward to using this reel in tournaments later this month. Once again, thank you.

"The best casting reel I've ever owned"

— Jim Hutchinson, Outdoor Writer

"It is outstanding in performance; and so are all of you for making this fishing marvel"

Your SuperCaster spinning reel has improved every aspect of my fishing experiences. It casts effortlessly and reliably and propels my fishing lures amazing distances. I am very pleased to use the SuperCaster reel. It is outstanding in performance; and so are all of you for making this fishing marvel available . . . Since returning [from a fishing trip] I have ordered another reel for personal use and a gift order for my brother.

"I love the drag and casting performance"

Hi. I am a guide in the Keys, but also a bass addict. I used the reel 3 days and caught many fish including a 12 pound snook, 2 – 7 to 8 pound bass. I love the drag and casting performance . . . I own nothing but Shi**** products . . . and I believe the drag and casting performance is much better on your reel.

"The best I’ve ever used"

Fred, the reel works great. I've had a chance to do quite a bit of bass fishing lately, and it is perfect for tossing worms/lizards in situations where I don't want to have use any weights at all . . .

"The SuperCaster performed sweetly."

A Reel Jewel. The reel’s features make it ideal for an extremely wide variety of fishing techniques. Its 2 1/4-inch spool dwarfs the average 1 1/2-inch spool on reels in its class. Feathering a cast with your forefinger is a breeze because the spool is so close . . . During my fishing with a pre-production model, the SuperCaster performed sweetly. The drag was smooth . . ."

"...your product exceeds all we have seen to date."

My name is Capt. Mike McBride. Capt. Tricia & myself operate Skinny Water Adventures out of Port Mansfield, Texas. One of your reps gave us a pair of 230 SX's while we were attending the Rio Grande Valley CCA Banquette earlier this year. Skeptical of course..., we tried them. Suffice it to say that we have used just about everything on the market and your product exceeds all we have seen to date. The Lower Laguna Madre, where we fish, is an extremely harsh place. It is a hypersaline bay and we wade fish with our clients 90% of the time. That means the reels typically 'swim' day after day in a very corrosive environment. Besides being true to performance claims, they have withstood all abuse with minimum maintenance. They are something we feel will help our clients have a more productive day and would like to add them to our arsenal. Both Capt. Tricia & myself are monthly feature writers in the Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine and work closely with Joe Meyer and Fishing Tackle Unlimited on their Pro-Staff. To enhance (and protect) our own credibility, we only use and endorse products of the highest quailty. Your reels pass with exciting marks. Question. Do you offer any programs for guides with high exposure? If so, we'd certainly be interested. If not, we'll just suck it up and go retail...and be proud of them anyway. Regards and thank-you, Mike McBride www.SkinnyWaterAdventures.com http://texassaltwaterfishingmagazine.com

"This reel handles 10 pound walleye as if they where bluegills."

Fred, I used your reel this last Friday walleye fishing on the Detroit river. I am a tournament walleye fisherman and a walleye guide on the Detroit river and Lake Erie. I also work for Bass Pro Shops in Auburn Hills, Michigan. I can use any reel, but I fish with your product. What a great reel. Its small size and light weight make it an ideal vertical jigging reel. And has the power to handle the biggest walleye Lake Erie can produce. I fish in the lower Trenton channel, where the water current is 5 to 6 miles a hour -- and jigging 25 to 35 feet deep. This reel handles 10 pound walleye as if they where bluegills. I can pitch the smallest jigs to the weed beds with pin point placement. The drag is as smooth as glass. And [it] can handle the riggors of 200 plus days walleye fishing . Thanks for a great reel. Paul Brown

"Your reels can walk the talk"

Gentlemen: I field tested my 240 SX at Baffin Bay/Landcut, in Texas a few weeks ago ...TOTALLY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE...NOT "ONE" WINDKNOT while casting into, cross winds from sun-up until dark, in steady 25/30 mph winds. I landed two 28", one 27" and several 20/25 " trout while wade fishing...This the first time in 14 yrs that I acutally outfished my step-son...a Marine Biologist at Texas A & M in Corpus Christi...we fish artifical 100 % of the time; however, he did land a 29.5" Trout, the best of his lifetime. I've fished with every brand of spinning rod on the market, and they all , without exception, eventually get wind knots. I began using spinning reels in order too cast into the wind & current, keeping the lure in FRONT of the fish...not throwing with the wind, and lining them, i.e., bringing the lure from behind them. All our fishing buddies are beginning to ask about your spinning reels..."Your reels can walk the talk" I'm out fishing everyone in our wading group. Tks, Bob Beckett

" I think the drag system and casting performance is unbeatable."

Here are a couple of pictures from fishing yesterday. I have just started fishing the U.S. Reel SuperCaster 230, I caught redfish and trout in the backcountry off of Homosassa, Florida. I know this reel has added casting performance making it easier to cast greater distances, this allows me to fish the oyster bars and keep my boat at a safe distance so we do not to spook the reds and trout up in the shallows. The drag system handled everything we caught with a lighter setting. I think the drag system and casting performance is unbeatable.

— Capt. Bill Boynton, Homosassa FL

"Thanks for a great product!"

I fish the flats, marshes, and 'beyond the breakers'. I'm sure I will be putting this reel to the test. My normal winter fishing for trout and reds is a "piece of cake " for your reel.It has been a pure joy to use! Bull reds, jacks, and sharks will be the real[or reel] test! I hope to be hearing from you soon. Thanks for a great product! I think my baitcasters are in for a long rest. Thank you again!

"# 1 SUPERCASTER 230 SX"

His unique spinning reel is an amazing piece of fishing-engineering. Spouse and I purchased one-unit 230 sx yesterday in Ledgewood, NJ for our scholarly chemistry Elmira College son. He's off to Chicago, IL for the National Science Foundation outing but not before he receives his second year running Phi Beta Kappa award from the graduating 2007 senior class membership at Elmira. Elmira is nestled in the Finger Lakes region of NY state. One can fish lakes, streams and the mighty 'Chemung River ' for pike, bass and the hard-running cyprinus-carpio - aka carp the twin spools of his brand new 230 SX will give our Paduan-Jedi son the advantage to 'slow-down' the locomotive-like runs of this prehistoric- river-fish. Thanks to the entire team of the U.S. Reel company & SuperCaster 230 [carbon-fiber] sx. It is all an-inland fisherperson could ask for and utilize.

". . . a revolutionary fishing reel."

I was fishing for bass on Lake of the Ozarks in January when I set the hook on a monster of a fish. I could tell the fish was humongous from the first moment. I had been catching keeper size bass all day long on suspending stickbaits when I pulled up to a long submerged point along side of the old river channel. I was fishing 8lb Berkley Fluorocarbon with a 6'6'' Fenwick Fishing rod. To make matters worse I was fishing a lure that costs $30!! I certainly did not want to lose that expensive lure. Luckily I was fishing my SuperCaster SX spinning reel. I have caught some big fish in the past on this reel and knew the reel and drag system would hold under the intense fight. My fishing buddy with me that day was thoroughly impressed with the incredibly smooth drag of the SuperCaster. The big fish made numerous runs in attempt to break the fishing line. I was able to slowly move the fish over deep open water and eventually wear him down. My partner slipped the net under the fish however the fish barely fit into the net! I can't say enough about how great these reels are designed. I use these reels for all types of fishing from trout to crappie to bass fishing. They will hold up to much larger fish also such as that 40lb near record breaking Freshwater Drum. Thanks for making such a revolutionary fishing reel.

"... durable and versatile."

I wanted to wait and try the 240sx in both salt and fresh water before providing an opinion. For the past 4 months I've fished for bass in Texas, various surf fish in Florida and large trout on the Pit River in California. Great look, excellent drag, extra insurance with the larger line capacity, durable and versatile. I now own 2 and when the 180sx comes out I will buy 2 of those. I have more than one high dollar reel made by a competitor. Found something better in the US Reel.

". . . spinning reels as boat anchors."

. . . the line twist with this reel is much less than any other spinning reel I have used, (and I have had a lot of them) and will probably keep me from using any more spinning reels as boat anchors. We caught a lot of spotted bass and had a very successful trip. Thanks again.

Bought two - love 'em so far.
