Although it does have age and action related scuffs, it still works beautifully.

The click stop lever however, is loose and sometimes you have to jiggle the handle to

get it to lock.

Otherwise it's completely workable and is built like a brick you-know-what.

It's really one of those "They don't make 'em like that anymore" items.

Please feel assured that if the reel isn't to your complete satisfaction,

there's no problem returning it.
