Quick take
A sturdy spincast reel with rigid aluminum construction, three ball bearings, and a titanium-nitrided line pickup that reduces wear during casting.
The Daiwa Silvercast-A is a medium-size spincast reel with an aluminum alloy body, three ball bearings and a 4.3:1 gear ratio. A push-button cast, a dial-adjusted disc drag and an oversized line opening keep it simple for newer anglers on freshwater. The handle can be set up for left or right hand, and it comes spooled with 10 lb monofilament.
