I just want to put this out there Has anyone used these reels are they good or bad? they are light under 9 ounces and a fast 5;3 gear ratio and a 3 year warranty. Thanks in advance

Well James I was waiting for someone to answer you that fishes with a Cforce but none so I will tell you what I know. I bought 3 of their finesse reels when I went back to boat fishing 5 years ago, they are a step down in price from cforce. I was broke from setting up the boat and buying it so not much $ for tackle. Thing is all 3 are still working well and landing all types and sizes of fish. Heck they aren't highend reels but they work hard for me and have Never let me down to this point. They offer a good warranty (why I chose them) and are made now in china (what isn't?) but I wouldn't be afraid to buy one...............but, for what the cforce costs you could do better with a Daiwa or Pfleuger at the same price point. TW has good prices and an assort. of spinning reels to compare (and better $ than direct on the ardent). I just bought two president xt's and they are very smooth and have a much better drag. Just a suggestion, shop well and tell us what you ended up buying.   Dave
