1 ball bearing, graphite chromed spool.... I know I work for Breammaster guys but you'd be better off sticking to a Kmart outfit for $25.
I would not be comfortable with my expensive fire lines on anything but alloy/metal, and if you were a young kid or new to the sport on a budget, there are nice "Good Quality" reels out there that won't break the bank.
Please ,no offence to Rod, but i'd avoid those ones
