The 1595 1/2 is a lovely reel, very well engineered. It will hold a DT 9 line and 100 yards of 20# backing, for those of you who aren't sure from the specs listed on Pfleuger's site. Now, you could buy a more expensive reel, but at this size, you're looking at $300 or more. If your ego needs this, by all menas, buy a bar-stock reel. If you want to fish with equipment that will not fail, get a pfleuger. The value of pfleuger is in its simplicity. You don't have to take your reel in and have it "tuned" or "cleaned" becuase the incredibly complex drag system is a little wonky. You do have to deel with loose screws, but you learn to glue these in.

This reel was to be a replacement / spare for a fishing trip. It was assembled backwards [lefthand] and required a small screwdriver [not included] to fix. The drag broke within an hour and the reel was wobbling and scraping it's housing before two hours were up. Very noisy drag with noisy reel. It held the line in a spool and thats about it. Spend $50 and get one a lot nicer.
