Cobra Fishing Appraisal

Cobra Spinning Fishing Reel

The item is a spinning fishing reel, characterized by its prominent gold-colored body and spool. The main body of the reel appears to be constructed from a metallic alloy, likely aluminum, given its finish and the typical materials for fishing reels. The spool, which holds the fishing line, is a lighter gold/brass color with a polished, reflective metal band around its lower portion. It is currently spooled with a significant amount of light green monofilament fishing line. The handle, also gold-colored, extends from the main body and terminates in a black, textured paddle knob designed for grip. The reel exhibits several visible markings: the word "Cobra" is prominently displayed in red lettering on the polished metal band of the spool. Below this, the words "BALL BEARINGS" are visible in smaller, black text, indicating the reel's internal construction. The bail arm, which guides the line onto the spool, is visible in black plastic or composite material. The overall condition appears to be good with some signs of use, but no overt damage like cracks or significant corrosion is immediately discernible. There might be some minor scratches or scuffs consistent with typical use. The design suggests a relatively modern spinning reel, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, engineered for general freshwater or light saltwater fishing. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced reels, functional and durable.
