I hope you got an old one. The new ones aren made in some part of China
that's not up to normal Chinese standards.
Probably an old AK-47 factory.

I just picked up a medalist 1495DA in excellent condition. I plan to put
wf-8
line on it, but was just wondering how much 20lb backing this reel will
hold.

Thanks
