I was not expecting too much for the price , it's ok, the bearings are obviously not as smooth as a £50.00 or £60.00 reel, but as a spare, or a reel you can let someone borrow it is fine, and it has a 10kg drag. I have bought a lot of gear from Bearking, and I have always liked the quality so I am sure the reel will be fine. and thank you to the seller for the free gift.
