Quick take
This is a size 5000 open-face spinning reel from Restcloud with a front-adjustable drag topping out at 4.41 pounds. It runs three bearings behind a 5.2:1 gear ratio, and the handle swaps between left and right retrieve. An on/off anti-reverse switch and an aluminum spool make it a straightforward pick for anglers working lakes, rivers or the shore.
