Incredible Performance, Exceptional Quality! The ideal star-drag downrigging reel. Whereas lever drag reels offer unparalleled drag performance, star drags offer simplicity and castability. These reels are designed for the demands of downrigging. The heavy duty level wind lets you concentrate on catching fish, not thumbing line on your reel. And the loud strike alarm lets you know you've got one hooked. The graphite/titanium frame is super strong. Reel also features: stainless steel reel foot, stainless main and pinion gears, aluminum spool, ball bearing titanium drag and a power knob.
Great Value

Comments about Shimano Shimano Downrigger Level-Wind Reel:
At [$], these reels give you more than your money's worth. With almost no maintenance, mine have lasted admirably through 7 years of fishing for striped bass and bluefish in LIS.
