This high-quality spinning reel is perfect for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. With a maximum drag of 25lb and a gear ratio of 6.2:1, it is perfect for catching larger fish such as bass and bluefish. The reel size is 5000 and it has a braid capacity of 30lb/300yd, making it ideal for big game fishing. The Penn Battle II Spinning Reel is made of durable aluminum, graphite, and neoprene materials, which make it both lightweight and sturdy. It features an enhanced gear train and anti-reverse technology for a smooth and comfortable fishing experience. The reel also has 5 ball bearings and a front drag style. Its black color and sleek design make it a great addition to any fishing gear collection. Reels up fine, but bale needs to be flipped manually. I recycle, using boxes that are in very good condition.
