Actually, for an inexpensive reel rather well done EXCEPT for two items .... the frame is not screwed together so you can't take it apart for a good cleaning, and SECONDLY (and the point of my post) is the reel foot is large enough (thick) that you can't mount the reel on anything but a huge (10wt) type rod.

Problem is given you can't un-screw the 'foot' to grind it down, is there some 'easy way' to accomplish this without screwing up the frame with a '******* file?'
