A fixed spool reel is a reel with a non-rotating spool, often used for spin fishing.
When casting, the rotating bail is lifted which then allows the line to run off the spool.
The bail automatically returns to its original position when retrieving the line.
Drag settings may be adjusted at the front, centre or rear by a finger screw.
It now features some of the systems used on Shimano's top-of-the-range reels,
like the cold forged and double-anodised spool and Shimano's Anti Rust Bearings.
The corrosion resistant hybrid aluminum body, Shimano Super Stopper II, Power Roller,
SBL and Floating Shaft systems are still on the long list of details
for this very affordable workhorse.
