I just found another reel I never heard of the <Daiwa 125M> looks interesting,I am still researching.

I don't need one of course ::) just wondered what they were all about?

It's what we'd call a closed face reel. Made for the UK/European match fishing scene, they're made by quite a few companies, these were good, ABU 500 series arguably better (506M)
Designed for "long trotting" - float fishing a river where the float is run down stream (trotted) with the bait just skimming the bottom, allows you to feed line as the float moves without getting slack line or wind tangles.
