That little reel Slip Sinker is Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite "Elite".  It is the 2015 model.  The 2016 model now has a black finish.  My main concern with inexpensive ultralight spinning reels are the smoothness of their drag systems especially when using 2 lb test lines.   Most will  tend to bind and grab under pressure, as a good sized fish will speed off and pull the drag out  like Redear Sunfish do.  If the reel fails this test,  I'll take it back for a refund.  This 6 oz. reel has a very nice smooth drag that I have been able to test out on some good fish at Lake Perris.  (Thank you LedHed)
