Wall Hanger, still works perfectly.

"I received this as a gift on my birthday from my son because it looks like a wall hanger I used decades ago. I once told him it was one of my favorite fishing poles when I was his age. He even bought me a pole out of the $5.00 bin. This reel is not an all metal construction model like it's decades ago predecessor and probably won't last a lifetime but I had to use it so I wouldn't hurt his feelings. Well it is not the greatest reel anyone knows that but it does work well catching crappie, the drag is sluggish and hard to set with 4 lb. line and the rotor isn't balanced very well but it serves it purpose, It catches fish and it will be a perfect combo for my grandchildren to learn to use once they are done using spincasters. I gave it a 5 for nostalgia, and for the price it is better than a snoopy pole for kids."
