An entry-level spinning reel with seven ball bearings and hollow-out aluminum design, bundled with 109 yards of braided line.
This is the AF3000B size of a spinning reel with a 5.0:1 gear ratio, seven stainless steel ball bearings plus an anti-reverse bearing, and a hollowed aluminum frame with a graphite body. It weighs 0.35 kg, works for either-hand retrieves, and comes with a spool of 109 yards of braided line. A compact reel like this suits anglers who want a ready-to-spool setup for freshwater or light saltwater outings.
