I bought this from a guy who had it in his shed for 10 or 15 years but never put line on it. He spooled it up with 30 lb Big Game and before he got to use it, someone gave him a pair of GTIs. It has an aluminum spool, 5 chrome crossbars and a black torpedo handle. As far as I know, it has never been wet. Looks and works perfect. I paid $75 for it, I'll let it go for $65.
