Good condition, $50 - $75. Excellent to NIB, depending on the extras, $100 - $150. IMO

Don't think it comes with any of that...but it looks very clean from the pics.. are these very good reels,,smooth? Do they have infinite anti reverse? Never had one in my hands,,do they have all metal,construction?

I've never held one either. Some say the older ones made in the US are comparable to equivalent Penns. The newer Asian made reels don't have quite as good a reputation
