Exceeds expectations
Bought the Shakespeare Contender for 9.99. In the 2 months I've owned it,it has blown away the 179.00 Daiwa it replaced. The bail opens and closes with a crisp pop. The gear ratio (6.2:1 I believe) makes for fast retrievals and the drag is very good. For the price, this reel is way above what I expected. I wish I would have bought a few more.

$5+ cheaper than other manufacturers comparables.
I notice an improvement over the older contenders. It is a hair noisy and a very slight vibration is transferred into the rod compared to a President or a 310 but for $30 less than those models its not fair to compare. Everything works fine and it handles 4lb trilene beautifully.
One of the best $20 reels available.

Not the best
I bought 2 of these specifically to use for trolling for crappie with 6# test line. Overall the reels are decent considering the price, but they suffer one fatal flaw. The line frequently slips off of the bail line roller & jams between the end of the roller & the bail arm. I tried tightening the screw holding the roller in place to see if it would tighten the gap at t he end of the roller, but it seems to have had little effect.

Great for bass fishing and great selection of size
I chose the #20 contender with Shakespeare 7' light rod are a great combination. Every fish becomes a bigger fish. And practicing on the smaller, will help you a really big fish. I also am going to try the 7'6" rod with the contender
30 should be great, have not had a chance to try them yet.

I purchased two of these and have not used them. As it is cold and snow. I have used Shakespeare products for years and have no problems with any of them. I will continue to buy Shakespeare as long as I am alive.
