I use a left handed 301a on my spinning rod, it's a deadly little reel, I use it loaded with 30lb power pro braid.

I have one....retire it after a 10 yrs of abuse.....nice ,tough and reliable for plugging,light baiting on pier and bass bait fishing purpose....centrifugal brake....disengaging lavelwind.... u might want to upgrade it for smoother and a better distance......looking at the condition on the pic...its consider a good deal.....hopefully its not just cosmetically ok....just check the mechanical site is it working 100% or got a prob....

Too few blemish on the reel....like somebody bought it and get fed up learning to cast it or want for a CT cage instead of levelwind....
