Rojchanadej 3 I just received the reel yesterday. 4th April, 2022.After I inspected the reel as usual , I saw strange flakes on the reel foot.So I used the Q-tip to wipe it,They seemed to be the paint chip.I inspected it carefully , the paint chips came from the frame near where the spool edge sits.It was not a small paint chip but quite a big one.Bigger than any of my “used” salt water reels.There are other dents on the EVA grip.Dent on handle lock nut.(come on this is the brand new in box reel.)And glue residue on the gear box trim.So I decided to return it back to Amazon.I hope I would be lucky next time.
