This is a left-hand low-profile baitcasting reel with a nylon body and an aluminum handle, weighing about 214 grams. A 7.0:1 gear ratio picks up line quickly, and a 7-magnet brake helps manage the spool on the cast. It carries 12 bearings, an anti-reverse clutch and up to 12.12 pounds of drag, and it spools braided or monofilament line for bass fishing from the bank or a boat.
