Overview
A shoreline or boat angler looking for a metal spinning reel gets an aluminum body in a three tone black, gold and smoke finish. The listing names anti-reverse, but gives no gearing, bearing or drag detail.
An aluminum body is the reason to look at it, since metal resists flex under load better than a graphite shell. Nothing on the page covers drag, ratio or spool size, and the listed weight should be checked against the product images.
Who it's for
Anglers building a mid size spinning setup for fresh or salt water may like a metal body and anti-reverse. Those who need verified drag numbers for large fish should look at a reel that lists them.
Pros and cons
- Three tone finish
- Drag rating not listed
- Gear ratio unknown
- Line capacity unknown
- Weight looks low for aluminum
Performance notes
The body material resists flex when a fish pulls, but the drag and gearing decide how well the reel handles a run, and neither is listed. Anti-reverse stops the handle from turning backward after a hookset. Pair it with a spinning rod and line matched to the size class.
