This is a spinning reel with 10 bearings which makes it very smooth when dealing with fish and weed. It was very solid and I bought it of over 70 euros last year which I though was reasonable. It also had 2 spools.
Again I did have an issue. The cog on the shaft that holds the spool had a tendency to fall out when changing spools. This happened at the start of a winter night session. I had no spare reel and tried to use it rather than go home which resulted in a bail arm pin pinging out which was again lost in the dark. I went looking to replace the lost parts and the Trabucco dealer offered to replace the reel for free but the tackle shop had difficulties getting in contact and eventually replaced my reel with an okuma.
