I will say I've had that one HY20 for 2 years now, and it has held up well despite getting plenty of use and not much maintenance. I did think that having to reel to re-engage was somewhat annoying, as I've been fishing with an Abu Revo that has a switch that lets you go back and forth from 'momentary' to 'on-off' with the release. My son stole it so often I bought a second one to use myself. It turned out to be a great reel, which works out well on some of the lighter rods I use for the smaller fish. It was extremely light, but I didn't get a cheap feel from it. The first time I saw it, I figured there was no way that thing would get anywhere near 28 lbs of drag. I own two HY20's, which I use mostly for fluke/porgy/tog/sea bass, but have pulled up a few smaller bass as well (I tend to fish three way bucktail rigs in heavy currents for bass so the Maxel's out). Made my mind up looks like a Saltiga 15 in my future.

The thumb bar was tough to engage from free spool and while reeling felt minor grinding. So I went to another booth to try theirs and same result.
I’m used to a smooth Calcutta the Hybrid I borderline felt like something would snap.

My biggest issue was when engaging the push bar for free spool to re engage you really had to crank on the reels handle. I don’t know what it was but it just felt cheap. Also liked the spool lock that will come in clutch when I snag something. Got hands on the Saltiga first and was impressed with small size and how smooth it was. Have to say one felt like the best reel I’ve ever touched the other one absolute junk. Hit the show in Edison had both the Saltiga 15 and Maxel Hybrid 25 in my hand.
