Wasn't too impressed with the Ardent Flippin reel after spending a few hrs using one that a friend let me borrow. To ME it seemed that reel was cheaply made and components had a sloppy fit as compared to my Shimanos. One thing i liked that it was a dream to cast when i didn't have issues with it. I do like the concept of a narrow spool, but it eventually became a chore to pick out line overrun. This happened once I had buried the line in the spool after getting hung up on something solid. I took it off after becoming frustrated with it. Too bad, i was really hoping that this could have been a good reel for my flipping and punching rods.

Like any other reel, you need to adjust the tension to match the weight of your lure. When set properly, you shouldn't have any professional overspin.
