Got a brand new one recently from a relative, used it once. Very nice reel but have 3 others in that line class ( 15 -20 ). Still have box and all the stuff. Will sell for $80 firm. Please send all inquiry to :

This reel was designed for "Great Lakes" fisherman, Trolling, dipsy-diving, etc... No brake weights, not really a great casting reel, just my 2 cents. D
