I had two of them in the past and they were junk to me. THe drag sucked. Couldnt get a decent size fish to come in cause you could only put 20lbs of drag on him. THe little star to tighten the drag was made out of plastic and would break apart and be useless at the most inopertune time. I Think I still have one in the shed if you want it. Pieces of garbage in my opinion. Better off spending a little more and getting something that will last you a life time that saving a few bucks and being pissed off on the water when it fails you.

I'll take it if you are giving it away. I need some 12 mile and closer equipment.
