Made with a lightweight graphite frame, cold-forged 6061 T6 aluminum spool and high-strength lightweight heavy-gauge aluminum bail wire, Ardent's Finesse Spinning Reel weighs very little yet withstands wear and tear with ease. Multi-stack-washer drag system protects your line while halting hard-running fish. 7+1 bearing system leaves the reel operating smoothly. Braid band on spool lets you tie braid directly to the spool. One-piece die-cast aluminum handle. Rubber knob on handle.
