It Has 1 ball bearing, 5.3:1 gear ratio for a $100.00 I'd go with the 7000-C3 on sale and it has 3 bearings & not bushings that will make all the different in the world!
I don't own one but people swear by them!!!!!I

What kinda application & what stick are you thinking of matching it up with?
Not to disrupt your thinking but.......
I know that a lot of people are turning there heads towards the new and up comming AVET REELS there 100% made in America (PA.) the tolerances are tight & The drags are very smooooooth!Not to mention the amount of bearings in each one.

Plus dollar 4 dollar there the best priced bet yet!

I have a Calcutta 700 it's five years old, I have replaced the left spool bearing 2 years ago (self fault) but besides that it's awesome, I love it & use it every time I go to the Canal to drift eels.
I would recommend the Calcutta as well but it is not American made, and it's more $$ than the AVET.If the AVET was around five years ago..........I would considered it..........It's your Money it's what ever works for you.
But that's my . 02

Good luck
