Used a mates couple weeks back- well he had me wind up from 110m'

smooth loads of drag , the only issue was the handle kept on undoing itself( on with a little ali fastener u need circlip pliers for to do up- sorted out witha bit of loctite)

 

i d buy one if i was in the market

 

was size 4500, was built fairly heavy (solid)
