Shimano long-distance casting reel. It's a Super Aero FV. It comes with two spools, one size 2 and one size 4. Made in Japan. SHIMANO SUPER AERO I used it for surf fishing from the breakwater. There are small scratches and signs of use overall. There are also small scratches on the spool edges, but I used it as is and had no line troubles. The bail and line roller are in good working order. The reel rotation is also smooth. How about it for beginner practice? Please purchase with the understanding that it is a used item.
