Shimano 21 Twin Power SW 6000XG

Hard-to-find-in-the-USA model delivered within 5 days from Japan during Xmas holiday period. (Ordered on Wednesday night ... FedEx delivered early Monday Morning). Otherwise, it's a Shimano Twin Power - if you have the cash ... of course it's 5 star.

I bought one of these for my neighbor's son. She is poor, works 3 jobs and her 4 year old son spends a lot of time in the pond out in back of their trailer because she works so hard and doesn't have time to take him anywhere. I got him this reel and stuck it on an old rod I had laying around - now she can't get her son out of the boat or off the pond. I'm so happy I got this for him - he'll enjoy it for many years to come. It's great quality, but the handle not only feels cheap, it is cheap. It's so cheap, I felt Amazon had sent me a counterfeit reel - but when I asked others - they had the same thing. I guess there's a reason you can find so many replacement handles on Amazon - I suggest you buy one before you get the reel - you'll feel happier.
