the FFP braid is an excellent choice for any reel but esp. on the FFP lineup. i have not had any issues with wind knots and it holds leader knots perfectly. If you have not tried it yet I highly recommend doing so.
Reel is super smooth... As a matter of fact I sold all of my Diawa baitcasters and replaced them with the Florida
My clients have been using these on the flats for redfish and all of them have loved the smooth action of the drag and the ability to cast long distances out to spooky redfish.
The crew at FFP took care of me quickly. Guide life is hard on gear and maintenance is part of a guides responsibilities. All gear needs maintenance and FFP makes it easy!
Finally got my hands on an Osprey 4000. Great reel all around, aesthetics are on point, it’s super smooth and light!
Looking forward to many outings with this reel.
Honestly the original Osprey CE answered all of my charter business requirements: durable and smooth. The Osprey CE Pro brings the perfection with only minor wish I had: faster fear ratio. Now I can step down a reel size and keep the speed with less fatigue. Carry on FFP!
I’ve been using the Bahia 4k on my charter trips for a few months. They have not skipped a beat. They have been solid. Caught a 40 inch snook on a 4k and the reel handled the snook like a champ!!
Perfectly complements my reel. Provides added torque for the retrieve and looks
great too.
I put these reels through the test all the time fishing big tournaments. They never disappoint me. Hands down best reels out there.
Due to cold and snowy weather. I have not used my newly reel
Lure seems well made, walks well and I can't wait for the water to warm up to really test it out.
The braid seems good quality with nothing negative to say, they did a good job spooling it tight. Thanks ffp!
Great product. Excellent customer service and fast shipping!!
Reel is smooth as butter and has a great drag system. Love the handle, wish all my reels had the same. Cant beat it for the price.
This reel is lightweight and durable. Compared to my daiwa bg, this reel is superior
The drag is impressive and the balance is good. My next reel purchase will be another osprey ce.
This reel is one of my favorite for the inshore fishing I do. It’s light weight, smooth, and it cast a mile. I’ve been using it for a couple months now with no issues.
This real is very light weight and very very small but when you put it up against big redfish or snook it handles it perfectly. I have even took it 4 miles offshore to catch grunt and sheep’s head and I was lucky enough to even hook a Goliath grouper and that reel handled it perfectly. 3000 sized
Bahia 1000

There's a few things I like to see be tweaked and updated on the next reel but I'm sure that will come with time and experience.
Keep up the great work guys.
Had a chance to put her to the test this weekend on the backwaters of NC. We got over 15 slot to over slot reds and it preformed flawlessly. Everything I am looking it a saltwater reel. Definitely will be purchasing others. Great job guys.
