classic reel. I retired the one I have as a back up and it sits ready to go. Many a fish caught on that puppy.
This was always a popular reel. Personally I liked their graphite body rear drag reel better..but they dropped it and I could not get parts and had to retire them to the scrap parts heap. (It was nice and light and warm to the touch on cold fall nights and you could numerically pre-set the drag and use a lever to adjust on the fly without overdoing it....sort of like an early baitrunner)
....the fact they are still making the BG says something. IMO if you are looking for a good value this is one to consider...of course penn makes a few value reels as well.
