This is a quality surf reel that has five steel ball bearings, wormshaft oscillation and an aluminium long cast spool. This reel looks the business with its silver main body and metallic red panels, and should stand the test of time because of its saltwater protection. Brushes on each side of the spool prevent line being trapped.
Not many reels come with as many features for the price.
The line-lay is superb, especially if you’re an angler who prefers to use braid.

Verdict

A little over budget but affordable. Very smooth and lightweight, its saltwater protection is a great feature.
