Is the reel made of cast aluminum, as well as the mounting bracket?

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.

Yes That is a casting rod, for casting reels. All the guides on a spinning rod are larger. The spinning rod description include the word spinning.

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

I don't believe anything was aluminum, the screw was stainless steel. It didn't fit the boat I was using so I gave it away.

Yes...but when you order it make sure you pay attention. ..the model # accompanied by the word "-SPOOL" is the spool only. ..i purchased this reel and I love it!

Yes. Its a good rod. It is a little heavy for continuous casting, but it has held up well.

No, it is just the reel however if you order it from one of the Amazon partners that is an outdoor shop they will probably load it with line and backing for an additional charge if you communicate with them prior to purchase.

Don't remember, it's pretty long though. Sold this at a yard sale after trying to use it one time, would not recomend it, reel sucks!

The reel is enamel painted steel. So it may rustThe springs are steel so they may rustThe cord is heavy duty but still should not be in the rain.If you are somewhere without salt air or a lot of rain it should be fine

No, it's just the reel. The reel is a small one for an ultralight rod, but it's very well made and solid metal. Hope this helps your decision making process.

I have had numerous reels in my lifetime and the one I put with my Rod was an Avenger ABF30 made by Okuma (okuma Avenger ABF30). I can assure you whoever you are buying this for will be extremely pleased with this combination.

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.

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.

The reels are built on an aluminum frame and now include both right and left side aluminum side plates for strength, rigidity and long-term alignment of internal parts.

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. It is a quality, commercial-grade heavy-weight aluminum item. The threaded part appears to be brass. There is also a rubber-type washer.
