Default Question about a reel

A Guy I work with gave me this reel. He has never used it so I was thinking it would make a good crappie reel because of its small size. I can't find much online, anyone know anything about it?

It does have the stamp on the real seat that it's from Japan. To me it's a tiny reel.

Heck, I just paid $140.00 for four Pflueger Templars to put on my 10 and 12 ft crappie trolling rods. I wanted more line capacity for trolling cranks 100 ft in back of the boat.

I have never trolled for crappie, To me that seems like a lot of work to do. I will ask do you use your outboard or the trolling motor to troll around? What longer rod would you recommend something around 10' I do more tight lining crappie than anything. I am using my 7'10" cranking rod and my other 7' cranking rod right now because of the soft tip.
