RYOBI ZESTER VX4000

Manufacturer: Ryobi
Model: Zester VX4000
Ratio:5:1
Max Drag: 6kg
Bearings: 5
Weight: 290g
Line cap: 12lb/200m
Price: Less than SGD$80

Finishing- 4
Gear smoothness- 5
Drag smoothness- 3
Casting- 5
Value for money- 4

Overall score- 4.2

Verdict- Excellent choice for fishing up to 15lb lines. It looks a lot more expensive than the actual cost and would make an excellent choice for the budget conscious angler.
