cheap reel

hey guys
my ebay reel was delivered today and im really happy with it. the drags good, its smooth, decent line roller etc the only problem with it was that the second spool hadnt been completely drilled out, but i can try and do that myself so no dramas its a bit on the heavy side but for a bait reel it doesnt really matter. it will be interesting to see how durable it is and if it maintains quality but for $10 bucks im really happy with it.
cheers
luke

I can tell u guys, that at first inspection, lukes ebay reel is not bad. Nice and smooth, good casting on it.Too bad it didnt get a bite on its maiden trip!(then again we did only get one bite-bloody fish!) The real question will be its lifespan
