The white line is great for our water color.
I'll start by saying, "I am probably done buying any other brand of reels"!
I bought a couple of Osprey 4k's from another captain for a personal fishing trip to Louisiana. The first thing I did was send them to FFP to have each reel gone through to ensure there were no failures on the trip.
We had some issues with the postal service and anytime I called or text Kyle, he was on it and made sure I received the reels in time!
I cannot say how much I enjoyed and enjoy these reels! We had to cut the trip short due to one of the hurricanes, but even in windy conditions prior to leaving, neither reel EVER threw a wind knot! The drag is smooth and paired with the Bulls Bay rods....MAGNIFICENT! No more Shimanos for me.
Thank you for all your help Kyle and FFP!

I have fallen in love with these reels, they perform exactly how I need them too and the fact that they can be serviced in a timely manner is fantastic for my guide season ... I have been putting them to the test on some big fish that I have handled on other high end reels and they keep rising to the occasion for me .... Have been buying from FFP for years and they continue to keep their promise of quality at the right price ...
Title says it all best reel for the money u can buy! Love these reels for clients. Been beating them up and they keep working flawlessly.
I've used every reel you can think of: Shimano Metanium, Bates, etc. and this is by far the best bait caster for the money.
My first thoughts of these new reels are I love them. They cast like a dream. Drag is awesome. I’m extremely happy with them and will be buying more.
FFP provides great products at a great price. Their customer service is one of the best ever dealt with, very friendly and knowledgeable.
I am a light tackle guide in Maryland and have purchased 2 of these reels. I have caught stripers, blue fish and red fish with them. These are the best casting and smoothest bait casting reels I have used. Definitely recommend!
Great reel for the price. Drag system is very smooth and will cast better then my shimano baitcaster. Overall a great reel for the price point
I've been using FFP reels for over 4 years catching thousands of huge, memorable fish. FFP stands behind their products, and their reel service is top notch. It's the fastest turnaround I've used, and it makes the reels work like new.
This line does exactly what it is made to do. My cast have been on target at great distances. I first started to realize this as I needed to pull back on cast. Fished the fresh water canals of the Everglades for some peacock bass. Also used this setup around the 10,000 islands of for trout, snook and redfish. Great product for both these applications.
Tough, smooth reel. Something broke after 2 years but $40 and a week or so and the reel is like new again. (they even saved and re spooled line-no charge) Florida Strong
The Bull Bay Rod paired with the Salos reel is a great Rod & reel setup. Will be purchasing again in the near future

Ive been an avid user of some other common inshore braids like PP Slick, and this stuff has held up even better and is way cheaper.
Not a bug.
Think about the fish, if you break off with this lure the fish will it be stuck with the lure for how long?? 500 hours????
I’ve fished with a lot of spinning reels in my 30years plus of guiding and none have proven as durable and reliable as the FFP Resolute series. I have yet to send my first Resolute 6000 in for service even after a full saltwater submersion and close to three years of use and abuse. I’m sold.
Love this reel, feel solid, smooth and should be a higher price for how it feels.
The customer service is on point and always get back quickly.
Fast and easy..No questions asked and fixed right the first time!!

I actually thought I would just use the new resolute reel for big snook, tarpon and king mackerel....but my clients like to use it also for trout and redfish because it is so smooth casting, and the drag system is second to none!
Thank you FFP ....all of your reels are absolutely top notch!!!!
This has now become my top water reel when targeting Snook/Redfish. Was blessed to catch a 31 inch redfish on it. The reel handled it flawlessly!
You can check out the cast to catch video on my YouTube channel Urban Fishing TV!
The Bahia is my favorite Spin reel to date! It is super light, the big handle is so
Comfortable and the drag is strong and smooth, pair it up with the FFP 10lb braid and you are ready!
