What is the reel made of

Hi Chief Bob, The reel is made of cast metal, the internals are plastic and metal. I have two reels made like this, my Wright McGill has never given me a problem and is made quite well for a value priced reel, same is true of the rod they sell with it. Ron/Fly Fisherman

The black frame of the reel is graphite. This is not a metal, or aluminum, frame reel. Gold portion on exterior is a decorative alloy plate.

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic. But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end) where the water hose is attached to is metal. It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is. And it's not stated on the package. But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.

It is a one piece rod and reel. It will ship in the US but it will not ship overseas.

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

I can't answer that for you. However HarborFreight sells a surprisingly nice, permanent mount air hose reel made of steel. Mine's been going strong 3+ years without issue and used a couple times a week. I'm not a fan of most things HarborFreight, but that one is worth it.

I not too familiar with the reel you are talking about, but I bought two of these rods and have been very happy with there performance, I use one with a penny reel for surf casting and the other for bottom fishing off of a jetty.

Plastic but durable. Makes reel lighter. Fast retrieve. Previously owned a sealine. Never caught anything good on seagate YET but I love these reels!!!

No, this reel can corrode, its made of aluminum components that will react with saltwater and will crust.You need to spend the money and buy a reel that has stainless steel parts for the saltwater.

I purchased the combo set, which included the reel. Very creditors used with proper weights and jigs

its not about where it is made its about how it is made.it is made in china but there are many other companys that are making reels there in the same price range that are excellent. Penn is counting on their big name to get by

Stitched in and wood I think. However I would not buy one. The catches are junk and the overall construction is poor. Probably made from slave labor in China.

The reel weight is 5.6 ounces and the color of the reel is black, grey. This is the only color these come in. Thank you

It is made of a ferrous metal- a magnet sticks to it. Ours has held up well for years.

The rod is nice but the reel is junk. The wrapping your asking about I don't remember but I would not recommend the reel.

No,the string just hangs out of the end. The "reel" is solid molded plastic.
