Brilliant reel, used them since 1970! Never been without one.

I've got a 5501 C3 on Fleabay at the moment. Check it out.

The 5000 series are great reels, especially for any kind of boat and bait fishing for pike. But they aren't good with small lures and are beaten hollow by modern baitcasters designed for the States, like Quantums.
