This is a 16 Catalina 3500H. It has been used, but there are no problems with fishing. There is a slight graininess, and a subtle roughness, though not quite a grinding feeling. It's recommended at a low price, especially for those who don't mind the reeling feel. How about it for those who do their own maintenance? Thank you.
