So, about what size is it? Roughly a 5000?
Edit: Never mind, I was able to zoom in and read the line capacity off the spool. Interestingly, if those numbers accurately relate to their other reels it would be sized somewhere in between a 1600 and 2600. An intriguing size to me, and one I that I was not aware of. Very cool.
I would say 3000 size reel,larger than I need.Good price its pretty ::) weighs more than a Penn 712.

Quite a bit more line capacity though, I'd call this a light saltwater size while the 712's capacity makes it a med heavy freshwater reel, despite its weight.
I think thats actually a couple ounces lighter than the various 2600's I own from that era.
Ok
Nice. It has one of those fancy-shamancy collapsible handles.
