Advantages: Excellent value for money, good drag system, good capacity Disadvantages: None I have fond yet
...I bought this reel in June to use mainly for my Salmon fishing
First impressions are that it looks a good reel and is attractively finished
It is fitted with an aluminum spool but also comes complete with two spare spools which are of the graphite type

The handle is a double handle, again all metal with rubberised grips, it can be used left or right handed. The bail arm has a positive action that trips over smoothly and is equiped with a free spinning line roller. The reel has either a silent anti reverse operation or a reversable option by means of a small lever on its underside.
There are two drag adjustments on the reel...
