>>902878pretty much. for dinks I think it would work fine. I would like to see the insides of the reel. the outside looks the business but the guts of the reel are what make it what it is.
watched a guy with one of those shitshamo's hook a bigger size striper and the reels gears completely grinded to nothing. he had to handline it in. So for dinks itll work but would hate to lose a fish of a lifetime for being skimping on the important stuff. you can save money on the rod instead.
