The Pflueger Microspin Spinning Reel has a graphite body and rotor and a machined aluminum spool (it also comes with a spare spool). The spool and the bail are a brilliant brass color and the body seems to change color between a silver/grey to a goldish color (depending how the light hits it). The Pflueger Microspin Spinning Reel also has a handle that can be right or left hand retrievable and a solid Rosewood handle knob.
