This is the best reel I have seen in many years. Works like a charm. Only drawback is that the
supplied end on the silk given does not fit the reel. It is a small bead that is way too large for
the end of the reel itself so the silk needs to be attached by other means.
Getting the striped
silk is a plus and the reel itself has no drawbacks. Expensive but worth it if you want quality.
