This English-made classic features an attractive dark gray leaded finish, ventilated spool internally stamped 122, rim-mounted silver adjustable drag tensioner, chocolate brown knob on an alloy post, dual-riveted ribbed brass foot and wonderfully smooth mechanics that are among the best in the business

The body of the reel is compact and angular, with a neat triangular cutaway section in the stem to set it apart from the dozens of other all-black big-pit reels on the shelves

The one touch locking system for opening and closing the shield keeps it firmly secured
