Shimano Spinning Reel 09 Twin Power SW 8000HG, left-hand retrieve. Made in Japan. SHIMANO TWINPOWER Used for lure fishing from the breakwater. There are small scratches and signs of use overall. There are also small scratches on the spool edge, but I used it as is and had no line troubles. The bail is normal. The rotation is relatively smooth, I think. How about it for practice for beginners? Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item.
