This Komodo is twice the size of my other baitcaster reels. It still sits well in my hands and the power handle is great, sits on my 7'6 overhead rod. Almost 280.0m of 30lb braid. I can use a paternoster down to 50 or 60 metres and then I can change rigs and cast a pilly floater with ease. Lots of drag and very smooth. Waiting for a big fish to really give it a workout.

I purchased the left hand retrieve version because of some issues with my back. I hope it will be better to hold the rod in my right hand and reel with the left hand. I already had the right hand version which is why I ordered this one. They are excellent reels. I use it for my musky jerkbait rod.

This reel is amazing! I have Shimano TranX 300 and Daiwa Lexa HD 300/400. I got the Komodo 471p and it has a MUCH better feel. It comes with a clicker, it casts better than both, feels SUPER smooth even though it has a SS pinion and Main gear. It has 30lbs of super smooth drag too! This reel is a monster, I'll be looking forward to purchasing more.

Bought this to replace my daiwa lexa. I already have one primarily for trolling for salmon in my kayak. Its always been such a better experience than with the lexas performance. Only slight con about it is that it is a little bit larger than the lexa. The lexa was sexy lookin and just the right size. But this komodo has all the good moves.
I have ALL Lexa from cc to hd version and this thing slams on angler face with ss stainless steel gear n pinion... blah. 1st. Casting is horrible! The brake collards just popped out to on by itself! 2nd the handle knob is too close too the handle, hard to reel in or for cranking in, also it kept hitting my index finger. 3rd. Popped in and out like 3 mm 4th the level wire is too closed to the spool, when do a heavy cast, line will be popped
This reel isn't going to win any style points. Put it next to any Shimano or Daiwa baitcaster in the same price range and the Shimano and Daiwa will win on looks and feel every time. BUT...this reel is up to the task of handling any fish the Shimano or Daiwa can catch, and maybe more. The stainless gears are sure to stand up under duress and combination of the power handle and line retrieval rate will bring anything to the boat your rod can handle. It's got a clicker so you can bait fish. Any perhaps the feature that I like best...while it may limit castability...is the levelwind moves with the line on the reel in freespool and when the drag is paying out. The result is that your line is never at extreme angles on one side of the spool while the levelwind is on the ... MoreThis reel isn't going to win any style points.

I have used my 471SS's for fresh and saltwater casting lures to musky and snook, bottom fishing up to 200ft for snapper/blackfish/grouper, casting 8oz+lead and foot long live baits for flatheads, sting ray fishing, and have landed an 8ft nurse shark on the 471 to boot.This is a hardcore conventional reel, with an indestructible stainless steel drive train, in the body of a compact low profile.Any day of the week in any fishing location in most any fishing situation and these reels will be my go to.
When the reel arrived I was stoked b/c I have a 364 PLX and love it. When I got into the box I was immediately disappointed to find the clicker button laying in the box and a rattling sound coming from the reel when I shook it.I took the reel apart and found that the retaining clip stuck to the inside of the reel, just had not been properly installed and was an easy fix, placed the clip firmly in lace and while I was in there I did some exploring. What I found was plenty of grease where needed and HUGE gears, with everything as it should be I put it back together.I filled the reel with 50# Seaguar Threadlock to within 1/8" of full and tested the drag with a Manley 2012 50# spring scale. Initial pull only generated a 8.5# of drag at pretty close to full drag and I ... MoreWhen the reel arrived I was stoked b/c I have a 364 PLX and love it.

Initial pull only generated a 8.5# of drag at pretty close to full drag and I was concerned a bit, but not to worry this gets much better. I loosened the drag all the way and reset it to almost full drag and tried again,this time setting the drag I got 17#.I repeated the process, this time not setting quite as tight to start with, I had 15# and slowly worked up to full drag @ 28.5 # wow! Loosened all the way and reset to max drag....30.5#. I repeated this at least 1/2 dozen times and always got from 28.5 to 31.5 pounds of drag. Oh, and it is silky smooth to boot.Only time will tell how this is going to hold up. I don't really expect to be using anywhere near this kind of drag using this reel as I intend, casting swim baits and poppers, but it is nice to know it is there if I need to lock down on a Cubera or Rooster.
Got this reel for some saltwater fishing with the occasional foray into Musky fishing. Holds a good bit of pretty heavy braid. Has a lot of drag, which can be useful. Power handle is great. More than I usually spend, but sometimes you have to splurge on yourself. This reel will last.
I got 471P.It's gigantic hahaBut compare to LEXA 400 size, it's somewhat manageable in your palm.If you have small hand don't care about the spool cap, get the 300 size instead.Got so much drag power!!!I use it for throwing irons to catch yellowtail, YFT, and etc.Love it
