Too cheap/inexpensive to be any good? Not so.,
This is not the best reel on the market. It is far from it. But for the price, it simply can’t be beat. It seems to be the standard Shimano reel design only made with cheaper parts. It is mostly graphite, which feels more like hard plastic. And to top it off, it is usable in saltwater, although I have not personally tested it those conditions.
If you have never fished before and aren’t ready to make a large investment, this is the reel for you. If you are an experienced fisherman and need a lightweight or backup reel, you can’t go wrong with this. It was less expensive than the Shimano FX which has an aluminum spool and a light counterweight, but this version has an interesting trigger for one handed casting that was pretty easy to figure out. I paid $11-$12 at the local Sport Chalet for the IX R1000 size and it has a nice fit and balance on my lightweight and med-light poles.
I balked at this reel at first because I thought it was too cheap to be any good, but it is the perfect reel for your secondary or backup reel, but also suitable as your everyday go-to reel for those looking for a bargain.

|cheap but reliable spinning rod,
One ball bearing spinning rod. It is what it is. Initially works well, looks well made. See if it holds up. Only time will tell. I don’t maintain my reels very well. So I use them up (1 season) and then I ditch them. For me this is what I do.
