I’ve used the XLS Rivermaniac on several river trips and it performs reliably in wet conditions. The sealed brake system keeps the gear dry and the retrieval is smooth. The bronze finish looks great and the EVA handle is comfortable to hold for long sessions.
Austin Ross –
The reel handles fast retrieves well and stays functional even after exposure to rain. It’s a solid choice for river fishing, though the line capacity is a bit on the smaller side for larger streams.

After a few weeks of use, the brake system has shown no signs of wear. The sealed design keeps moisture out, which is a big plus in unpredictable weather. I’d recommend it to anyone fishing in rivers.
