Quick take
The Ming Yang CL60 is a right-handed round baitcasting reel with a machined aluminum spool, anodized aluminum side plates and a 4.2:1 gear ratio. It has a star drag with up to 18 pounds of drag, a line-out clicker and a thumb-bar spool release. At 12 ounces, it is a slow-retrieve conventional reel for catfish and other bigger fish in fresh or salt water.
