It looks like the frame and spool are graphite, though.

I have one with that exact face labeled for Sport Fisher. THey were made in Korea. It has an excellent brass disc drag system. Since it is heavy for its size
it is a good reel for fiberglass rods. I used to have another, sold it to a fellow in the UK who exclaimed that is was a fabulous reel and wanted another.

I thought the face looked like anodized metal, but I could be wrong.
I guess I will have to wait till it arrives |

looks like a pot-metal die casting to me.
the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.
