Gear ratios can be deceiving, small reels and small spools with high ratio speeds often have lower inch retrievals than large spool reels. The slower large reel spool ratio recovers as much line per-turn as smaller compact reel models with higher speed ratios. The other point to consider is line diameter; large diameter line increases line return because the larger diameter fills the spool faster than small diameter line.

Most new reels I own puts ipt on the box. Also with smaller line you have a higher average retrieve rate because the spool diameter doesn't decrease as much as with big line.

I usually like your reviews and this one is a good review... But your open comment about a fake pandemic is uncalled for! I lost my brother to corona. He was a nurse in NY. My wife is also a nurse anesthetist and since my brother's passing I've been so worried that my wife might get sick and bring it to the family. I guess it's a little closer for me but there has been a lot of deaths and for you to call it fake pandemic man you've gotta stop drinking the koolaid!

@@ShaneJMcNair I appreciate your reply I do agree the politics have probably made this a lot worse because they didn't take action sooner! Look at south Korea they took action as soon as they knew about the virus and had very limited infections. The other countries you mentioned one doesn't have very good reporting and the other doesn't have very much traffic during the winter. As far as the US goes we've already lost more than triple than the flu of 2019 not to disrespect the loss of your friends. I guess since my wife is in healthcare and on the front line I have a more inside view and the way my brother died and the speed of it is scary. I know some people that have recovered from it but the amount of death is alarming. It's not for some dumbass that keeps going on TV with his personal physician team and acting like it's nothing then say it's going to be worse than he could ever imagine and all the other lame comments need to stop!

Great review. I just wanna comment on the "tapered" line guide. It's a "last minute" innovation before we made the final production. The shap of this line guide is totally different. Think of a sand clock. The line guide is wider insdie of the reel, getting narrow in the middle and finally opening up on the outside. We'll make a demonstration video about the benefits of this patented design. I'll leave the question open for you guys to think about it just for now. ;)

FYI - Manganese bronze is often specified over other bronzes for its exceptional longevity. It can withstand wear and corrosion better than most other bronzes thanks to its added manganese, and while not heat treatable, it boasts an impressive strength profile. It is resistant to seawater corrosion (though less so than silicon bronzes), and is both hot forgeable and castable, Also, it must be reliably lubricated to work optimally, as abrasive conditions will weaken the alloy’s integrity.

I generally like KK reels but this one i bought and it started to fail in multiple ways very quickly. First the thumb button failed, i took it apart and found that the design of the parts that re-engage the spool when you turn the handle was a failure as it would often stick down and not engage the gears. I modified it by gluing in a piece of plastic which fixed the problem. Then the anti reverse began to fail. Then it began to make a grinding sound and when i opened it up i found that the main gears and the pinion had worn down. Either I got a lemon or this reel is just not very well built in the parts that count.
