Quick Finessa 280 vs 285

[ClintB]

Is there a definite change from screw down spool retention and push button retention between these two models?

[foakes]

Yes, Clint --

The earlier 280 has a different spool shaft, drag knob, and the spool must have the drag nut unscrewed to remove the spool.

The later 285 -- which is the pre-cursor to the 330 Finessa -- has a push button spool release.

Best,

Fred
