My customers are hard on reels and especially handles so having the power handles is definitely a level up.
Loving these reels. As a fly fishing guide, I love to keep one or two conventional set ups in the skiff. The Osprey handles big business. These have been great! Big thanks to Kyle and his team. Yahweh Bless Y’all !
I’ve been extremely happy with the my FFP Bahia reels. I primarily fish in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound of North Carolina. I was first introduced to FFP reels by a local fishing guide. The reels are very well-made, lightweight, and have an excellent drag system. Also FFP is the type of company I can be proud to support. I have recently ordered my 3rd Bahia reel and a Salos reel.
Bought this as a guest/boat rig and now routinely choose it over the Stradic. Smooth and strong. Drag adjusts and sets perfectly. Will use $100 savings over Shimano to buy ... another Salos!
As a full time fishing guide in Pensacola I expect a lot from my equipment. I've been with Florida Fishing Products for several years, and I have to say the Osprey CE Pro is a work of art. I have yet to have one fail, and my clients work these reels HARD. Everybody loves the smoothness, fast retrieve, and excellent drag. I used to use a competitor's reel in the same price range, but after one year of use they were throw-aways. FFP rules!
We just fished a tournament with the spool of line. As always no complaint , excellent experience with the reel service.
Overwhelmed with the amount of replacement parts used as part of the service. Reel is buttery smooth right now. I hope I can experience the drag real (reel) soon!
I spool my own reels but not as well as FFP!! Also can’t go wrong with an FFP Reel ! They fight bigger than their weight class!
This is a light well built powerful reel. Smooth drag for large stripers and reds.
Ordered 6 of these inshore reels for charter fishing the flats for redfish, speckled trout, and anything else that may bite. Customers have been happy and repeat clients have noticed the the upgrade. Great reels so far paired with bull bay rods. Can't beat the quality for the price, especially for charter fishing.
Went to a local fishing extravaganza and a dealer let my wife try out and cast the Bahia on a custom spinning rod. She enjoyed the reel and feel of the Bahia. I get a test try on the set up….20 cast into the demo I was casting into the same spot give or take 3 inches…exactly as I expected. We bought the set up for her. Dealer did not have a second Bahia so I ordered mine online and got it at the same price with the subscription discount! Can’t wait to put it on my 7’ rod ready to rip some trout and reds! Thank you Florida Fishing Products for a high quality salty reel my wife can I use without frustration!
I’ve been putting this Bahia 150BC through some fantastic Texas fishing down south the past 6 months. Very impressed with this reel, build quality and smooth casts, picking apart my targeted area and letting the drag do its thing. Great prices point for a quality reel. Highly recommended for all anglers!!
Took it to Islamorada backcountry fishing. The reel performed on every species including over slot redfish.
I have been using Florida Fishing Product reels for 5+ years now and am continued to be blown away with their customer service. I use their Osprey/Resolute as well as the Bahia reels everyday on my fishing charters for my customers and they are flawless work horses. I also have the CE Pros that I use for myself and for customers throwing artificials. The CE Pros are light smooth and just down right sexy.
Just spent the day tournament fishing under this hat. The fit is spot on and the breathability is amazing. Much better sun protection than the typical trucker hat that is more common out on the water. Currently wearing while I type this review.
I’ve owned a lot of different spinning reels over the years. This one is by far my favorite! Smooth, strong/sealed drag, comfy handle, lightweight, great look. I highly reccomend trying one out. My clients and I have been putting them through the wringer and I have yet to find anything to complain about. Thank you FFP!
