I used this in rotation with my Shimano Calcutta, and it has a proven track record of landing quite large fish in shallow water jigging, sea bream, and especially flatfish. When you get a bite, it's easy to set the hook with rod action and handle operation, and the line management when letting out line lightly is very accurate. While I haven't been able to capture every minor scratch, there is overall a sense of use. The body has age-related deterioration and minor scratches. The spool has no scratches and is not expected to affect actual fishing. The worm shaft of the level winder has age-related metal deterioration, but this is also not expected to hinder actual fishing. It comes with line, but since it has been used, I cannot guarantee its strength. There is no box or accessories. As this is a used reel, please no claims or returns.
