I have enough reels for what I need, and there is certain size/models that I like to have. One of them is Daiwa 9000c. I have been looking for one here and there, but have not seen it in my price range.
I stumbled into this reel a few weeks ago and just could not resist the price. This one is in great shape. The inside is very clean, so just need to remove the old grease. The pictures below were taken before cleaning. Unfortunately, I broke my iPhone, and these are all of the pictures that I have.
There is a little plastic piece inside the spool but otherwise, it is all metal with 3 ball bearings. KS alloy spool (not sure what that means).
Spool shows:
lb-yds:
20-290
25-260
30-190
mmdia-m:
0.45-270
0.49-240
0.53-170
Gear ratio 1:4.3
EDIT: I am getting "The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator." when trying to load the images. Not sure why..maybe I will try later.
Japan or Korea?
maybe, grab a spare bail, while you can:

Thanks!
Made in Japan. It is 750 grams before I spooled it with some line. It is a bit too heavy for my 9 ft rods but I will give it a try anyway.
Here are the pictures he was wanting to post .
