Quick take
A lightweight low-profile baitcaster with 12.12 lb drag power and 7 shielded bearings for smooth casts.
This low-profile baitcasting reel from FISHDROPS pairs a 6.3:1 gear ratio with a magnetic brake that has 7 adjustable magnets to help manage backlash. It has seven shielded bearings plus an anti-reverse bearing, an aluminum handle and spool, and a maximum drag of 12.12 pounds. At about 210 grams it suits freshwater casting for bass, carp and catfish with braided or monofilament line. This version is the left-hand model.
