My budget for the reel was $600.Rather than buying one mid to high level reel I took a chance and bought 2 of these Behemoth with backing and fly line.First off, this is a die-cast and not CNC so the weight and tolerances are not as tight.I will list the Pro's and Con's from a real-world use.The reel endured 6 days of fishing in extremely hot climate averaging 4-5 hours of constant use.Pros:Price (Very affordable)Capacity of backing, I was able to put 325 yds. of 80 lb. backing with 110’ GT line and 10’ of 110 lb. leader and still had room.Handle was nice and big with combination of rubber made it nice without slippage.Drag knob was big.Drag was powerful and it did the job. I had the drag cranked all the way down (supposed to be 30 lb.) as instructed by the guide and the GT was able to pull another 50 yards of backing with no issues so these are powerful fish.Cons:Weight, I have the 11-12 and it was heavy compare to the Nautilus and the Loops being used by others, but it also did not cost $700 +.Finish is adequate. The die-cast showed plenty of scrapes and scuffs after the first dayThe spool has some play (slight wobble) just enough to notice but did not affect the performance.Drag knob felt cheap and did wobble. When backing the drag, the knob does slip so you can actually back off on all the drag and the knob will still turn a few more times, when it supposed to stop. Also, setting the drag is not as smooth, the knob has some gritty feel to it.Spool removal knob in the front is plastic and when it’s cranked all the way down to secure the spool, it does not do an adequate job. This is the reason for the wobble. You can’t tighten it too much as the thread stops and made of plastic, I feel it may break.With that being said, the reel performed and was able to land several GT’s, YF Tuna and Groupers with no issues.For the money it did just as well as the high-end reels but will it last over time …….No regrets and would buy the reels again.I would not have any issues paying more if they could upgrade the following on the 11-12 reels.Spool removal capSmoothness of the drag knobBetter coating on finish ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have used Redington's Behemoth rigorously over the past few years ... *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016* Have used Redington's Behemoth rigorously over the past few years. Dragged through mud chasing 20+ pound carp, knocked off rocks hunting salmon, caked in beach sand for stripers,albies and blues, and off the boat deck at the NE canyons for mahi and yellowfin. They have yet to fail under any conditions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid reel *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021* As order. Loaded it with 100 ft of 20 lb. backing. 100 ft of 6 wt 285 gr floating chukar line. Nice drag. I use it on big pyramid lake trout. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/120226674-behemoth-fly-reel-heavy-duty-carbon-drag-large-arbor-die](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/120226674-behemoth-fly-reel-heavy-duty-carbon-drag-large-arbor-die) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
