The first model of Valiant reels that came out was the 300 size single speed and after several years and many more new sizes we finally see the two speed version. These are compact and light weight but powerful little reels capable of punching well above their weight class. If you pair it up with a thinner PE3 or 4 braid you'd have a perfect flylining setup for tuna and yellowtail.
The narrow size also makes them perfect for jigging and with the addition of the low gear ratio you have the cranking power to bring up most species. These now come with the rubber handle instead of the metal knob which makes these that much more comfortable to fish with. Due to the size these reels do not come with a clamp so you'll need a modern rod with a reel seat included.
