Reel was thoroughly cleaned and lubed and new 8lb.clear Trilene line was installed. The spool is only about half full, (I ran out of line.)The reel was tested in my workshop after I placed the line on the reel. All functions worked as they should: Push button release, retrieve and line pickup, anti-reverse, bait clicker, and drag.The reel handle will be removed from the reel for safer shipping.I ship the same day of payment or the next business day.Shipped with USPS Ground Advantage.I never add to or pad my shipping costs or charge a handling fee.Shipping costs are determined by the USPS and the buyers location.
