Having used FFP products since the beginning I felt once the CE came out there would be no better reel to come. Boy was I WRONG! The CE Pro exceeded my expectations last week with testing it out on
Monster Redfish, flounder, trout, black drum and even an accidental 5ft Alligator Gar. Drag is as smooth as it gets but stronger than 99% of reels on the market💯💯
Make sure you do yourself a favour and try one out you will not be disappointed and that’s a promise!
The Resolute Rugged Saltwater Spinning Reel one tough reel. Catching Big Bull Reds with ease. I bought this from one the local outfitters My favorite reels, I like tham better then Shimano and Daiwa reels.
I have 3 FPP Osprey CE Ultralight reels. I just bought FPP Osprey CE Pro, it’s the best one yet. FPP customer service is best in the business. I like them barter then my Shimano Stradic FL and Daiwa Saltist.
I’ve been using 3 of these reels weekly for 2 years. I’ve had zero problems with them and look forward to purchasing the latest model.
Out of the box this reel in the 1000 size looked and felt like a great reel. After just a few months of use the finish is coming off is a few areas on the reel. I know that asthetics shouldn't be a primary factor in choosing a spinning reel but we all know that it is. Aside from the finish wearing off way too early the reel still feels smooth as silk. I'm largely evaluating this reel against a Diawa BG in a similar size that I've had for a little over 2 years. The Bahia still feels better than my Diawa BG, at half the cost, but the Diawa has seen much more use than the Bahia and its finish still looks out of the box. Time will tell if the feel of the Bahia holds up 2, 3 years from now.
I’ve had the Osprey CE reels on my charter boat over 2 years now with no issues. That’s 2 years of hard use 250+ days a year. I didn’t hesitate to get the CE Pro reels when they were released. I like the sound of the drag clicker, the new handle material, how light they are, and the faster retrieval speed. I can’t leave out the looks and how well sealed they are either. The frames seem to have less flex as well. I anticipate I will easily get the years of use I have had with the original CE and then some.
I am a full time guide so my reels take a beating. Have been using FFP reels for a few years now. I still have some of the original osprey ce reels and love them. Some how they improved on a great real. Have a full set of these. And everyone that has used them on my boat has complemented them. Super light and smooth as butter. Can't beat the quality for the price. Definitely happy with the reels and would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality super light reel.
Have used the reels for a couple trips now and really like them. Cannot wait till we start chasing mahi and we can put the big spinning reels to the test. Good quality and very impress thus far.
I have NOTHING but Peace of Mind when I send my FFP reels to Florida Fishing Products for service, maintenance and repairs.
They are fast, but thorough and will go out of their way to make sure the reel meets their standards.
Great control and action. I love it, I wish all my fishing reels were FFP reels!
I love FPP Ospey CE Ultralights reels. FPP customer service is amazing I received the pro a few days after ordered it. My favorite reels, I like tham better then Shimano and Daiwa reels.
Great braided line for fishing the surf. Lightweight yet strong enough to reel in the big fish. Very happy with the purchase
I love these FFP reels! They work fantastic and are extremely reliable. I have put MANY big kingfish and grouper in my boat with these reels. As a charter captain, they get used a lot; thus they occasionally get overused and require service. On the few instances where parts are needed or service is required, the FFP representatives have been extremely responsive. They are easy to reach and quick to respond with a fix. Parts are received quicker than any other company I've dealt with. The one time I needed to send a reel in for service, the turn around was amazingly fast. FFP gets my highest recommendation!
Can’t say anything I haven’t said in previous reviews. The reel meets and exceeds expectations. Just get it now, you’ll regret waiting
Just used my 1st spool of this leader, busting nice big yellow tails and muttons, holds up great!
Awesome reel. I have caught lots of fish on this reel and it handles them beautifully. Great with the distance casting braid.
It’s great line and my favorite. Can be difficult if it’s windy as it’s lighter than most other lines. But all in all I love it.
Amazing customer service to back it up
Super light and smooth, reel slings light lures with no issue! Absolutely will order another from these guys. Plus they threw in a decal and hat
Very smooth reel. Very smooth drag. I couldn’t ask for more from this reel.
Smooth and powerful. Caught couple 30 + inch snook and a red first day and was surprised how well drag held up!
Reel service was fast and fixed the reel to the level that it was brand new.
