I ordered this reel three weeks ago, and it has quickly become my favorite! It's incredibly smooth, and the mode switch adds a lot of fun to using it. I can confirm that it handles lures ranging from 1g to 15g, and possibly even beyond it , I mean lighter than 1g and heavier than 15g!
I have got this reel for fishing trouts in the Alps creeks with a BFS setup.
The pros:
- Very low overall weight
- Sophisticated brake system
- Good retrieve speed
- Low weight spool
- Reasonable price
The cons:
- Very small handle knobs
- Tension knob not clicking
It's a very good BFS reel, capable to cast down to 1 gram lures with ease.
100mt of 0.08mm braid line will full the spool.
Once you set the breaking force both with rotor and the external dial you can cast different lures with virtually no backlashes.
I have replaced the handle knobs with bigger ones.
My rating: 5 stars
This is a really top class rod.
Beautifully crafted with quality materials.
Do not expect a very soft rod as some other Chinese products, Dankung explain this in the specs.
All in all: a beautiful rod with character.
I use this reel for fishing trout in the small mountain creeks in Italy.
I couple it with a Dankung fiberglass rod and 0.08mm braid line.
The pros:
-Sturdy and durable materials.
-Ultralight spool.
-Progressive drag.
-Very good castability even with few grams lures.
The cons:
-Heavy compared with other BFS reels.
-Good brake system, but brake tuning very difficult. You have to rotate the all side plate and there are no marks to let you understand at what point you are.
My overall comment is very good, but the brake setting could be a drawback.
I am going to lot of fun using this slingshot , great service great communication , good products !!!
The only thing I hope it was better that the colors that I ask for I should've received it . In the website they should be indicating the colors what you have so we could pick it ! but it's ok
It's solid and well built. And a milestone reel! .After using this, I genuinely believe that DC controlled reels represent the next step for the entire reel industry. It provides an incredible new experience. In general, the brake control is exceptional, allowing for not only up to 1000 precise brake adjustments but also numerous other useful controls for different casting techniques via APP. These include flick casting, precise position casting, and casting as hard as you can without experiencing backlash, among others. I have tried on some of them, the presise positon casting function is impressive.
Mine is the Gunmetal reel (Non-DC edition), and the shipping was incredibly fast, taking only 12 days. My first impression is that it's a well-crafted reel with a nice design. It's slightly smaller and appears to be more durable compared to the Tendershoot reel. Right out of the box, the reel effortlessly casts 1g, and it also performs very well when casting over 15 grams. The smoothness of its performance right out of the box is impressive.
A good choice for anyone wanting a cold bend traditional Chinese looped tubes slingshot. It felt a little small at first, but now I like it as is and wouldn’t want it larger. The grooves to align the tubes are extremely helpful. After a few months of shooting this frame I see no need for aiming grooves.
The bands that came with this slingshot were fairly short, making for a heavy draw weight. I prefer a lighter draw weight and am still trying different band sets to find which ones I most like to shoot with.
It has taken several fork hits while I have been trying out different band sets so I can confirm that it is definitely a 100 year slingshot.
I am a beginner so this slingshot has been a challenge learning to shoot. After a few fork hits I have gotten better, but beware of damaging the fork which can make it more difficult to use the top insert band attachment.
I find myself using this frame more as I get better at shooting - it has a small frame gap but fits the hand well and allows for larger bands, which is a good option to have.
I would recommend this frame to more experienced shooters.
Definitely a 100 year slingshot. It will outlast the shooter. Beautifully made solid metal frame.
This model of the Five rings luck Microdankung does not have rounded corners so it is tough on the hand. You will see many internet photos of this slingshot with a paracord wrap to give it a softer feel. I extended my paracord to give my pinky something to try and hold onto.
Adding a cork through the pinky hole to act as a palm swell finally gave me something that I could really hold onto.
I struggle with consistency when shooting this small frame, so I filed grooves into the frame for positive positioning of the bands on the frame. I do not recommend that you do this, but I would like to see the frame manufactured with grooves just like the Dankung Snail was given.
Was very surprised with the quality and casting performance of this reel, At this price its a steel so don't hesitate if you are on the fence about one.
The best BFS travel fishing rod! I primarily use it to cast lures between 1.5 and 5 grams, and it also performs very well when casting 7-gram metal jigs thanks to its strong backbone. The rod's tip quickly returns to its original position after casting. I plan to purchase another TKBLU PRO rod from the real wood series, this time opting for a custom dark wood design.
its moderate action glass enable a much easier time keeping a fish on the hook, especially in stream fast current and even more so with barbless hooks(I prefer single barbless hook, Barbless hooks minimize harm to the fish while still maintaining a strong hold). The rod sways and bends, yet it's robust enough to ensure the quarry remains on the hook.. I really enjoy it
Solid and well built. It pairs beautifully with my all JDM rods and Glassfin rod.

This reel is a potential game-changer for BFS fishing, The quality of the build is premium. Smooth and effortless cast.

I'm very happy with my Panther. I'm glad I purchased it. I am shooting both looped tube and flat bands from it and I have a lot of fun doing it.
