These reels are marketed by several venders, are aluminum, w decent machining and parts, including 2 ball bearings on the spool.   Its the basis for my winter project.  In that I want to build another 5 1/2 inch spool mooching reel.  I hope to show step by step as it happens.
       Then will it catch fish?   I can,t wait!!!!!

Yes I think its a quality built reel for the money,  I,ve see this brand  on the bidders market store site for about $75 to 100.  I didnt like the tiny handle grips.  But thats an easy one for most folks to replace.  This one pictured is 4 1/5 inch spool .  Thats the mooching reel standard.  Even the Islander is 4 1/2 and its at the high end of the market .
  If you can get a used one thats great,  they will last.  Try one you might like it.     gst.
