Used twice. Looks like it just came out of the box. Not a single scratch. Check out the review in the Yellowstone Angler reel shootout:
"With its full frame design it is both light and durable. It’s highly ported, both on the spool and on the arbor, helping it to dry faster. The sealed drag is maintenance free and very smooth. The handle is well designed, with a good size and a portion of it carved out for a more comfortable grip....As a true “spinner” type reel, the Nexus’ lack of retrieval resistance allows the spool to spin smoothly and “coast” for a while with its quality ball-bearings. This enables you to pick up excess line rapidly, especially when you slap the face of the reel rather than using the handle. The Douglas Nexus is machined in South Korea from 6061 aircraft aluminum and is proof that high quality reels can be made overseas. It’s one of the best reels machined outside the US."
Will try to upload pics soon - the files I have are too large. Or, email at ahgreen@gmail.com and I will happily send pics. Its a fine reel for the price. Comes with original reel pouch and box. Retails at $325 (plus tax and shipping). Yours, delivered to your door, for $245.
