“Kencove's 3:1 reel does the job it was made to do. However it is not as smooth as other reels on the market. The one I got is a tad stiff. I prefer the stafix 3:1 and will stick with those in the future. In comparison the kencove model feels a bit cheaper.”
“I have used three geared reels - O'Briens, Stafix and Kencove. All three do well but I prefer the Stafix & O'Briens over the Kencove because the Kencove knob that prevents unrolling often slips out. Im not sure if its just mine or all of them are like that. That said, its $10 cheaper and it does well otherwise. Good reel but not the best I've ever used.”
