Has anybody heard of these.
Just bought a lovely reel from the tackle shop in Ch-Le-St. Reel almost identical to an Abu 6500.The Nerus 6000 cost £40. Years guarantee
Aluminium spool.
Rigid chrome plated brass frame.
Smooth main gear applied star drag.
Dual centrifugal mechanical brake system.
Selective on/off ratchet
2 stainless ball bearings and 1 clutch bearing.
Counter balanced handle.
Thought about a new abu 6500 but the thought of mass production in China put me off. Also did not really fancy second hand in case of faults etc.
Mick. Almost forgot loaded with 12 lb line and tapered leader. Down at my local park and tried casting. 80 strides so say 240 feet give or take a few.
It will do for my second rod.
