abu garcia baitcaster black max EZ Cast 6' Baitcast Fishing Rod and Reel Combo, 2-Piece Rod, Graphite Composite Rod Blank Construction, Comfortable and Durable EVA Handles : Sports & Outdoors The Black Max low profile baitcast reel is engineered with class Garcia Pro Abu Garcia Black

It is more of my plunking reel (Bottom Bouncing) I have used it for drift fishing but it has a slow gear ratio so it's not very good for that

This is a classic example of a reproduction sticker and is not original for reels made in the 1970s

As far as the frame is concerned, I usually clean it for cosmetic purposes, but you really dont want any dirt in and around the ingress points like where the spool makes contact and where the worm gear cover sits
