First there appears to be no way to free the line, no casting button or release. Much like the French Crack 400 series it’s a sharp back wind of the handle that releases the internal line pick up. The makers recommends trapping the line against the rod with your free hand or finger, you then simply release to cast.
Internally it’s fitted with “Wind-weather Guard” to prevent water n dirt getting inside.
There is a Micro-Drag alloy ruing adjuster on the outside lip edge of the spool .
Various models exist; this 1756 model is part of the 1761 series and has a good line capacity holding 200 yards of 6lb line or 120 yards of 10lb for the bigger species
