A look at the paperwork. This confirms our suspicions of it being an Asian market reel. The schematic (parts list on the back of it) mentions Japan while the enclosed warranty card references Pure Fishing Korea, the reel itself is made in China. I'm thoroughly confused now. The owners book is all written in Asian characters, likely in several different Asian languages.
My first impression overall is pretty positive, given the < $50 price point. I've yet to fish it yet, that will be the real test. I'll follow up after I do.

The Japanese do often use the double handle shown on the schematic. Pure Fishing actually being able to sell their stuff in the JDM is interesting, but they must manage it.

That reel is a Doyo like the Pfluger President, correct?
