The Ming Yang CL60 is a right-hand round baitcasting reel built for big freshwater and saltwater fish such as muskie and catfish. It pairs a chrome-plated brass frame with aluminum side plates and spool, a 4.2:1 gear ratio, a star drag, and a dual centrifugal and mechanical brake. Line capacity runs to 250 yards of 16 lb monofilament, and a selective bait clicker lets you switch it on or off.
