Can any owners tell me if this has an automatic reel-in function? I'm looking for the best and have come to demand this.

no auto function on this reel. I have had several. they don't die and continue to work hard. have caught fish up to 11 pounds on this reel with 12 pound trilene. the drag is quite good for heavy, running fish. I keep a couple of these on the ready in the boat for quick pick when I see activity on species other than what I am fishing for. very, very dependable

Does not. Also, gear ratio is less than 4:1, so it does not reel in quickly. It is, however, the finest spincaster I have seen. Very smooth with 7 bearings. I have used it extensively on a small lake from a boat. In these close confines mine works well on a medium-heavy 6' Ugly Stick. Best lure we have found for this combo is the Crappie Thunder "Greenie". Have caught bass, cat, and many a crappie with this setup.

Yes, if you want to reel with your left hand you need a left handed reel. Some reels though have an option for either left or right handed. Hope this helps.

The beauty of a reel is, you don't get twists in the cord. When you just pull cord off a pile of coiled cord, you put a twist in the cord for every loop you pull off. A twisted cord is hard to manage. It tends to kink up and form twisted loops. The lack of twists is why I use reels.

Yes. It comes set up for left handed reel, but the handle can be moved to the other side to for right handed reeling. Can be done in a minute or so.

Yes, there is a knob on top of the hose guide that you can to use to manually direct the hose onto the hose reel. It works well and the crank is easy to use without much effort. There is another model (more expensive) that has an automatic hose guide that lays the hose onto the reel evenly (more or less). I think that model is a little larger and has a metal hose bib (instead of plastic) to attach the hose on the reel. Hope this helps.

Yes there is a button on the front of the plug. Best reel out there. Retracts smoothly. Unit is kind of large but you get used to it.

The reel comes off. Normal rod style. You could attach about any reel you want. Nice little rod. No issues. Recommend it.

Yes a button reels it into the machine - works great! By the way I love everything about this machine

This line stripper does not work. I would recommend another one of you can find it. The stripper should pull line off the reel by inserting the end of the line into the stripper and pressing the trigger button on the stripper.

Reel in a box. That's it. Makes me think it maybe grey market. If you order it from Daiwa. It comes with paper works and spare spool.

The reel turns freely. Remember, the length of hose you are trying to wind in determines how hard it will be to crank. Since the reel is fairly large in diameter, it cranks in fairly easily in my opinion. Unwinding it is a breeze. We use ours in a factory setting several times daily and it has held up under pretty tough, grimy conditions.

Hey Jerry,I've bought one of these before and the wire is black and it comes in an easy-to-pull box, not a reel like in the main item picture.

Look up your answer on-line... Each reel has a box, each with line suggestions for all models.
