Line class, arbor size, and how the body was made · review
Three classes, three finishes, line included — and a German text that barely holds together.
The bottom line Line in the box at forty-six euros is most of the case; the German text barely holds together and there is no weight, capacity or drag to read.
Seven reels on this shelf; three arrive with line. This is one of them, and at 46,00 € that is most of the reason to consider it.
Druckguss arbeiten.
« Die casting work. » That is a complete feature line. Another opens Um jede Bewertung und Feedback zu respektieren and goes on about the inspection system rather than the reel.
Nothing here is dishonest. There is simply very little of it: no weight, no capacity, no drag force.
The brand field says sprinton; the reel says MAXIMUMCATCH ECO. The same seller shows the same split on a fly rod elsewhere on this site.
Germany 46,00 €. Absent from the United States, Britain, Italy and Spain.
Read on the day this page was built: 46 € at the German Amazon shop.
Catalogued and unsold: the French Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.
No such listing: the American, British, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops answer the reference with a search box rather than a page.

The listing’s brand field reads sprinton; the reel is a MAXIMUMCATCH ECO. The same seller shows the same split on a fly rod elsewhere on this site — the brand field and the product label do not agree.
This reference does — the variant is « rainbow with line, 5/6 wt ». The other variants in the family are sold by class and finish, and the listing does not say which of them include line.
Practically, that the specification is thin: the five feature lines cover a quality-control promise, the construction, the drag, the bearing and the phrase « die casting work ». There is no weight, capacity or drag figure to read.
A 5/6 outfit where having line on the reel out of the box is the point

CNC-machined aluminium frame · stainless steel main shaft · precision brass gear · aluminium handle · 2+1 BB (2 ball bearings plus 1 one-way) · spool release · bag included
Names the gear metal and the shaft metal — the two parts that decide how long it lasts.
Best for: Someone choosing on how the reel is built rather than on what comes in the box
CNC-machined aluminium alloy · large arbor · 2+1 ball bearings · 1:1 gear ratio · corrosion-resistant coating · hollowed for weight · supplied with fly line
Says out loud the thing every other fly reel here takes for granted.
Best for: A cheap second reel to carry a different line, once you know what class you need
5/6 wt matt black die-cast aluminium alloy · large arbor · WF5F-90FT fluorescent yellow line · 20LB-50M orange backing · 9FT-4X clear leader · stainless main axle and drag adjustment parts · three-year warranty
The only reel here whose line, backing and leader are each given by taper, strength and length.
Best for: A first 5/6 reel where the whole line system arriving matched and specified is worth more than the alloy grade
