Quick take
A baitcasting reel with dual magnetic and centrifugal brakes for beginners and experienced casters.
This left-hand low-profile baitcasting reel pairs a 7.0:1 gear ratio with a magnetic brake and an inner centrifugal brake, which gives newer casters two ways to tune their casts. It has a machined aluminum spool, an anti-reverse clutch and a drag that tops out around 12 pounds, in a body that weighs 7.5 ounces. It suits bass and freshwater casting with braid or monofilament.
