Targeting GT's and needed a large reel that could hold 300 yds of 80 lb. backing with a powerful drag.Did not want to spend a lot of money on a reel I may not use again, even though the outfitter recommended I purchase a best I could afford and not to skimp on the reel. My budget for the reel was $600.Rather than buying one mid to high level reel I took a chance and bought 2 of these Behemoth with backing and fly line.First off, this is a die-cast and not CNC so the weight and tolerances are not as tight.I will list the Pro's and Con's from a real-world use.The reel endured 6 days of fishing in extremely hot climate averaging 4-5 hours of constant use.Pros:Price (Very affordable)Capacity of backing, I was able to put 325 yds. of 80 lb. backing with 110’ GT line and 10’ of 110 lb. leader and still had room.Handle was nice and big with combination of rubber made it nice without slippage.Drag knob was big.Drag was powerful and it did the job. I had the drag cranked all the way down (supposed to be 30 lb.) as instructed by the guide and the GT was able to pull another 50 yards of backing with no issues so these are powerful fish.Cons:Weight, I have the 11-12 and it was heavy compare to the Nautilus and the Loops being used by others, but it also did not cost $700 +.Finish is adequate. The die-cast showed plenty of scrapes and scuffs after the first dayThe spool has some play (slight wobble) just enough to notice but did not affect the performance.Drag knob felt cheap and did wobble. When backing the drag, the knob does slip so you can actually back off on all the drag and the knob will still turn a few more times, when it supposed to stop. Also, setting the drag is not as smooth, the knob has some gritty feel to it.Spool removal knob in the front is plastic and when it’s cranked all the way down to secure the spool, it does not do an adequate job. This is the reason for the wobble. You can’t tighten it too much as the thread stops and made of plastic, I feel it may break.With that being said, the reel performed and was able to land several GT’s, YF Tuna and Groupers with no issues.For the money it did just as well as the high-end reels but will it last over time …….No regrets and would buy the reels again.I would not have any issues paying more if they could upgrade the following on the 11-12 reels.Spool removal capSmoothness of the drag knobBetter coating on finish

Second time buying this reel. Last one I had for 5 years and it held up to A LOT of fishing. The drag finally started to get a little weak so the new one is nice and crisp. Holds a good amount of backing plus line.

I needed a reel strong enough to handle 15 to 25 pound king salmon in the Lake Ontario tributaries. Most important to me was a strong & smooth drag. I was ready to spend up to $100 more than I paid for the Behemoth because I wanted to be sure the drag would properly handle these fish. I'm glad I kept looking & found this reel. It turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The drag is extremely strong. I had no problem fighting the salmon even when they got in the current & tried to go back to the lake. I really dont see any reason you would ever have to crank down the drag all the way on this reel unless you wanted to break off a fish. I purchased the 9/10 size Behemoth & I am very satisfied with its performance especially at the price I paid.

It worked great. Used it for salmon fishing and it handled excellent. Very good drag.

Reddington is a good name in fly fishing and the reel is a decent entry level reel, I bought it for my bang around pack rod, when I walk rivers for miles through the woods equipment in hand can take a beating, I bought this reel with a spare spool so I don't get angry about scratching it on rocks.

Just got it in tonight and loaded it up for my spey casting aspirations. It's well made and the drag is very nice. The design is truly unlike any other. It is noticably heavier than my other CNC made 10wt, but I've got no complaints in that regard. The only thing that has left me wanting, is I wish the drag was able to be dialed down a little lighter than it is. I maintain the 5 star rating because this want was honestly a bit overzealous on my part. I was hoping to take just one reel on a trip and carry an extra spool for use with a 5wt set up, the drag is going to be too stout for delicate trout tippets.

Outland USA got my Redding reel shipped very fast. I will definitely use them again. Price was very fair. In my experience these guys are 10 out of 10 on the performance scale.

No lo aconsejo mucho la verdad.....el freno viene muy duro y no se puede utilizar en tippet finos solo lo utilizo para el lucio ,bass o mar,cierto que tiene gran capacidad para albergar lineas de numeracion mayor y backing.Compre este mismo carrete linea 7/8 en otro lugar y un desastre.El vendedor muy correcto.

Can’t believe how much backing I put on this reel. Well built machine. Hoping to use it in a few weeks for salmon.
