Hey guys, so i bought a 6.2.1 1bearing real its a Shakespeare alpha its pretty new to the market. The question might sound weird but ive owed a smoke sol and citica and a quantum kvd reel and i cast a mile with the -1 bearing alpha- compared to about an estimated about 25%l more. This reel is also the fasts compared to the burners i owed? sounds like im stupid and laying but this is a unbelievable to my surprise as well. Does anyone own this reel “alpha”? if so do u seem the same? its cast a mile and its only 1 bearing anyone got the answer to this pluss the retrieve rate is shocking fast? thank you weird but true

mess with your brakes on the smoke. that doesnt make sense that a 30 dollar reel is out performing it. also the alpha probably reels “faster” cause the gear ratio is meant for it.

I got one of those to learn how to use a baitcaster and compared to my other reels it’s terrible. Sometimes when you reel it and stop the stupid spool will spin in reverse and let the line fall out.
