i want to get a new reel and im looking to get a shimano, anyone here have good/bad experiences with the caenan ?

 

is it worth the money, will it last, etc.

I’d get a casitas over the caenan, the casitas has better brakes.

Nay, get the casitas.

The Caenan 151 was my first baitcaster reel, got it last year (actually have two identical). I've never had any issues with them. Good reel for the price. There are others I prefer, but those cost significantly more.
