They are the backbone to my offshore rods. These reels are USA made ranging from early to late 70's 100% rebuilt. They were my dads reels when I offshore bluefin and yellowfin tuna fished with him on his v20. Now I have my built v20 and still fishing his reels on newer rods. Yes there heavy grinders and have a low gear ratio but I like bottom end in my offshore reels and there Bullet proof and easily rebuildable due to availible cheap parts. I upgraded the drags and reel-x the inside and they are smooth as glass!!
