## Before you buy

- Listing details are inconsistent: the feature text describes 4+1 stainless steel bearings, while the specification fields list a bearing number of 5 and aluminium bearing material. The 6.4 ratio is stated without a colon in one field but as 6.4:1 in feature text, and the listing also alternates between graphite frame construction and aluminium material. Line capacity is given only as “120/12” without units or an explicit interpretation. Confirm the exact configuration and line-capacity meaning for the selected listing before buying.

## A good fit for

- Anglers seeking a left-hand low-profile baitcasting reel for freshwater predator fishing, including pike, perch and zander.
- Buyers who want adjustable braking and a specified retrieve rate for casting setups.

## Less suited to

- Buyers who need a right-hand reel or a fully specified line-capacity rating before choosing.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with many five-star ratings, but a small share are one- or two-star. Without written customer feedback, these figures do not show what buyers liked or disliked. Treat them as a broad signal rather than evidence about casting control, drag performance or durability. The listed braking and drag features may matter to predator anglers, but the rating data do not confirm their performance.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this the left-hand version?
Yes. The listed hand orientation and size both identify it as left hand.
### What is the gear ratio and line retrieve?
The listed ratio is 6.4 and the listing gives 64 Centimetres of line retrieve. Feature text writes the ratio as 6.4:1.
### What line capacity does the reel have?
The specification field says “120/12” but does not provide units or explain the figures. Confirm the intended capacity for the selected listing.
### How many bearings does it have?
The specification field lists 5, while feature text says 4+1 stainless steel bearings. The listing is inconsistent on bearing details, so check the selected version.
