Purchased in the spring of '24, I only spooled line on it. It has not been used for fishing. Shortly after purchasing it, I moved due to work and was unable to go ice fishing... I'm listing it because I have no plans to use it in the future. The line has been removed. The advantages of this reel are, of course, its lightness, and I think the gradual depth stop function... although I haven't used it. I am also listing another one. This is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I am not an expert, so there may be oversights. Please understand that this item has been handled by someone else before purchasing.
