Got this in the mail today. That was only 3 days ago that I ordered it. Fast shipping!
Anyway, this thing looks well made. No surface tool marks and anodizing and chrome are smooth and shiny.
The aluminum handle is polished and no rough edges anywhere.
Reel turns easy and bearings are almost silent. The lock is instant and positive with no slack forward or back. Haven't opened it up to look at the insides and probably won't unless it breaks. This one is the 50 size and looks like it will hold a lot of braid.
It's sorta purdy for an el cheapo reel. Less than $50
