If you get a mag elite please don't ask me to take the levelwind off as its a nightmare to re-assemble. Cheers keith |

I dont think the CT has a levelwind- The CS is the levelwind version |

correct!
6500 ct is a better casting reel with bearings and no levelwind - the quality has dropped recently but if you've never owned one before you wont notice that and will probably be chuffed......but they do need servicing and tlc otherwise they run like poo  |
