This is a beautiful vintage left/right retrieve reel. It feels and sounds like a Daiwa Reel From the 70s that I used to fish with as a kid. This one is even marked Made in Japan.
Yes, they remind me of some of the older Daiwas. I have a smaller green XRL15 and an XRL40. Solidly built, economical reels from the early 1970s.
Good lookin' reel.
