Quick take
Spincast reel with aluminum body and three ball bearings, sized for freshwater fishing.
The Daiwa Silvercast-A SC120A is a right-hand spincast reel with a rigid aluminum alloy body and three ball bearings. It runs a 4.3:1 gear ratio, picks up about 25.9 inches of line per crank and holds 12 lb mono to 100 yards. A dial-adjusted disc drag and a rotating pickup make it an easy, push-button setup for freshwater anglers just getting started.
