The Reel body itself is graphite the spool and hardware are aluminium. This is not a reel a guide may use but for the weekend fly fisherman this will serve you very weel good buy for the dollar

Spool itself is aluminum. Surrounding supporting structure is graphite. Overall a very affordable and decent reel for the money. I am satisfied with my purchase

I believe that it's fiberglass. I bought it for my 11 year old who loves it. It's a great rod for the price. Nothing fancy...

This is an all metal hose reel including the handle. I have 5 of them around my property. Pricey but worth every penny.

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.

Yes, but I would replace it. Don't know how long it was been spooled on the reel.

Yes, the aluminum pipe is sold separate. I recommend using a 2 1/2" diameter copper tube. When you go to roll up the cover y.ou may find the height is too low. The reel height is low as the cover become thick as you roll up. I haven't figured out how to raise the height yet

I own a 300 from my early days. It has a plastic spool and is still working today. I bought the 300C for my son in law and used it when I visited last month. I has a metal spool and can be loaded with line by machine at the store. It has the same great feel of my original 40 year old reel, smooth casts and retrives well.

yes it is. I received mine back but it tookabout 4 months for them to fix it & send it back.you also pay for shipping & include a check for $7 or $8 S&H.; If you can live with that, then the reel is worth it.thanks

All major fame components are made from a durable aluminum alloy material. The swivel is made of both aluminum and brass. The hardware used to hold the reel together is made of stainless steel. The reel is backed by a 10 YEAR No-Leak, No-Rust, No-Break guarantee.

I think it's size 6. Graphite rod I think also, didn't pay attention as much. My reel broke within the first year, it's a really flimsy made aluminum one. It's great as a starter rod, but don't expect it to last long.

It's aluminum. Between the separations it has a sand which of materials but the top is aluminum. My aluminum with this top separated at a seam. The company did not honor it's warranty. I had it repaired at an authorized dealer for 300+ dollars. Sold it for 400 at a loss of 700 to buy a retrax that was 1200. Just FYI, buy once, buy right,

According to Penn, the spool is a "wide, black anodized aluminum" spool. Hope this helps!

From what I can see of the "free form solar pool cover reel" description on Amazon, it looks to be the same thing

The reel wheels are metal and the winding mechanism is plastic. So far, both have held up well.

Reel in a box. That's it. Makes me think it maybe grey market. If you order it from Daiwa. It comes with paper works and spare spool.

It's graphite. Don't expect much from a $30 rod. It works fine though--durable, strong, forgiving. I have 2 of this model, and 2 of the medium model. I would recommend using only mono on it, it doesn't have high-tech guides. I use the medium heavy with 30# line for larger fish--the medium size I use 20# mono.

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.
