In mint condition as I doubt it has been used more than once. A stunning addition to the Hardy Saltwater reel lineup. The SDS (Sealed Drag System) is waterproof saltwater safe and built to withstand extreme temperatures and endless punishment from the biggest freshwater and saltwater brutes. Aerospace-grade 6061 polished and anodized bar stock aluminium gives the reel extreme structural strength plus a stylish appearance. The low-inertia multi-carbon six-sided disc brake system generates 14 pounds of drag (SDS 12000) a mandatory feature for fighting big fish. Drag adjustment is easily monitored with the 360-degree color-coded drag control knob. The large arbor design provides rapid line recovery. The captivated spool includes a quick release feature and can be easily converted to right- or left-hand operation using the supplied tool. Every Ultralite SDS reel is paired with a neoprene pouch. Three Ultralite SDS reels are included in the line. The SDS 8000 is designed for 7- 8- or 9-weight line weighs 9.73 ounces and measures 4.5 inches across. With weight-forward WF9 fly line the reel holds an additional 180 yards of 20-pound Dacron backing. 0%
