Location: oswego, il | I bought one of these reels off ebay. I thought I was getting a great deal. Narrow spool, 4 to 1 retrieve, extra bearings for a great price. Got the reel, tranastion was fine but this reel is not made for casting. From the pictures I could not tell nor is this reel listed on the garcia website. The bos is in swedish or german. The lever for the spool release it ratcheted and manually controlled. It has a button on top of the lever that allows it to move back and forth, not mechanically activated at all. It also avivates through the center of the reel not up top. The whole lever actually sets the drag and the spool release all in one. My fault but I was wondering if there is any way this reel can be converted cheaply or do I have to buy another reel? |
