I bought this reel to accompany one I already had. I got my existing one a while ago, second hand reasonably cheaply, but when I came to look for another S/H one, the sellers were asking close to the price I paid for this one new. They seem to hold their value well. There are are better reels for casting, but these things are as tough as old boots, they have a very fast retrieve and if you need to haul a fish 15 feet or so up out of the water - fishing off rocks, piers sea walls etc. then they are strong enough to do it without complaint.

My only downer on this otherwise brilliant reel, is it's height above the rod blank. It can be difficult to get your thumb onto the drum for casting if you have small hands. You can manage by using a modified grip and it's a small fault in an otherwise brilliant piece of kit.

I found this reel a great value money rough ground reel,up to now it's never let me down, loaded with 30 lb line straight through its bob on, it's not a casting reel ,I played about with the brake blocks I've now put carbon ones in and they work great.
