    Just bought this reel from Pro-Am Tackle April/May this year.
    401 - left hand retrieve.
    Excellent condition. Still have box.
    Spooled with Pro Am stock 50 lbs red braid.     (or was it 80 lbs? - no matter, it can handle reeling in 37-39" channel cats, nine times in a couple of hours - that was a workout).

    $90.

    CVL401 305/50 5.2:1 3+1 11.8 LH

    Shimano Corvalus Baitcasting Reel Features:
    Variable Brake System (VBS)
    Uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
    Super Stopper
    One-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
    Assist Stopper
    Back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
    Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (only on 400 and 401 models)
    Allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels.
    Metal Series
    Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
    Two Post Quick Take Down
    By unscrewing the thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance or to adjust the VBS brake weights.
    Rubber Handle Grip
    Comfortable and soft to the touch.
    Diecast Aluminum Frame
    Aluminum Sides
    Clicker (available on models 400 and 401)
    Increases the tension on freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites.
    Aluminum Spool
