Does anyone have these new Crosscasts appear to be a bargain at £100.
If you have these are they up to the job?

I've had them since early summer, ordered them from a site called waveinn think they came from Spain. I really rate them, had the old ones and these are a lot better. Larger spools, very smooth, excellent drag and bring your lead back in no time. Plus they look good 👍🏽

Are you talking about the Crosscast QD or the new SCW's

How did you find them? Were they able to cast very far and did you have any problems with them? Looking for a reel to pair with my vader x rs 3.25lb rod, and I still want to cast over 100yrds maybe max 130 yrds but ig that would be pushing the limits

Looking at these reels and ironically also considering these rods, so would be good to know opinions on the reels and the rods. Probably will only need to cast 100 yards so think the reels will be fine but would like a rod with a nice playing action and not too stiff

Absolutely love the reels, they have a spool designed for long casting apparently and they are super quick at bringing your lead in even from a long way. They are super light weight and like I said before look really smart if you like your smart looking gear. I have mine paired with the avid exodus rods.

Don't really fish big lakes, furthest I have cast with them would be around 80 yards.

I'm looking for casting distance, maybe even up to 130 yards, so I might go and buy the 45scw's. Anyone used this model?

I got a set of these last year. Only been able to use them for one 48hr trip but had three fish on them and they felt good. Only down side was the stiction on the drag but it wasn't terrible, only just noticeable. Just added carbon washers in them now but not been able to fish since then.
For the price I am impressed so far.

I got mine from Kent Tackle as they have always been at that price there and they are 1/2 mile from my house

How do these fair up size wise compared to a shimano 5500 reel ?

just read a few of your posts and you are just trying to convince yourself to buy the 45's. You will gain absolutely nothing over the 35's which will be a lighter reel and suit your rods better. If you do your research you will find that TE did a fair bit of casting with the 35 Emblems.
