This reel punches way above its price point. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s very smooth and i have no issues reeling in bass, trout and pickerel.I paired this reel with a handing miracle bass rod. The balance is perfect. Spoiled it with 4lb line and casts quite a distance.The build quality is great, bearings smooth.I would recommend this reel

Smooth reel, felt great out of the box defenitely would buy in a dif size

This review is for both the 3000 & 4000 series Handing M1 Spinning reels (black and gray colors)These are some of the most inexpensive spinning reels I've seen, so I ordered the 3000 and 4000 sizes to find out if they're decent quality. Generally, at this price point, all you can really expect is complete junk. That's been my experience at sporting goods and big-box stores, such as Walmart.Enter in these "Handing" reels. I couldn't believe the price on them...$16 or so for a graphite-framed, 9+1 bearing spinning reel. A couple observations after un-boxing and taking the drag knob off. These reels are relatively heavy for their size, and the 4000 size is quite a monster, probably more appropriate for deep-water larger gamefish, such as salmon. The 3000 still runs on the heavier/larger size compared to other "3000" size reels I own, but it should be ok for all-around freshwater...bass, trout, walleye, pike, carp, you name it. Secondly, the main shaft was neither greased nor oiled, so I added some light-weight Trinity Royal bearing oil to the bottom of the shaft. I've found this to be the case on more expensive reels as well...best bet is to remove the drag knob and add a few drops of bearing oil to the main shaft, as well as the round areas where the bail opens and closes. After oiling, these reels did run somewhat smoother.Usually what separates the "junk" reels from the decent ones...the drag adjustment mechanics. Imprecise drag, where a couple clicks can substantially tighten your drag resulting in broken lines, is something characteristic of cheap reels. The drag adjustment on these Handing reels was surprisingly precise...each click seems to gradually and evenly tighten or loosen the drag, which is generally something I don't see in reels priced below $50. Look and feel seem fine otherwise. Time will tell if they hold up...for $15 even if they only last a season, that's still not a bad deal. I'd rather not have to dispose of a product like a spinning reel but at that price point you really can't go terribly wrong.Give these Handing reels a try...you'll be quite surprised at how well they work and the quality level is decent.

I purchased the 3000 size for my bass and steelhead fishing. I caught my PB steelhead on this reel with no issues. The drag works well and is easy to adjust. The strength of the set up is what really shocked me. This hangs tough with $100 reels easily!!!!

Smooth operating. I'm not a professional fisherman but seems to work great.

Got this as a reel for medium catfish. Ended up taking it in the marshes. It wrestled in a few large redfish. Drag held up well and no hitches in the casting. Worth every penny.

I haven’t used it yet but it feels and looks like a quality well made reel! I Ltd perfectly balanced on my 7’6” Penn rod. Note: size 3000 weighed in at 8.8oz, the chart showed 9.2oz, but lighter is perfect for what I need it for. 😊 I’ll updated after a few catches! 👍🏼

Great little reel, ordered in the 500 size for a small creek setup and have been super pleased. Operates very smooth and the handle feels great. Literal only issue is the place to keep your line in-between uses is a bit hard to snap line into but still servicable.
