Niko, What do you want to do with it? These are basically good baitrunner reels. I used them for live eeling bass in Quicks and Nomans, squibby. They have a very good drag (intended for tuna) but the name thunnus is IMO misleading as they don't have the capacity for tuna (unless your engine is running and you don't mind chasing them down) Also, while they cast braid OK they are not great. The baitrunner mechanism is good though, better then most I have used. IMO if you want to chase tuna with inexpensive spinning gear go for the big Saragosa .

PM me your direct email if interested. They are in very good shape. I sent them in to Shimano twice for service, they replaced one completely so it is essentially new. Otherwise this will be on ebay in a couple days.
