Just got a new spinning reel need opinions on it

I have been using baitcaster only for bass but decided I need a spinner for unweighted worms so I ordered a daiwa to match my new daiwa procaster baitcater. It is a Daiwa Caprice 3500 Hardbodz (all aluminum frame) which retails for 79.99 but I lucked out and found it listed in the wrong category on Ebay and won it for 15 bucks shipped and it is NEW In the box and not a refurb, anyway anyone have any experience with these or opinions?
BTW the only thing I worry about is that it might be a little large because it holds the same amount of line as a Mitchell 300X but for the price I couldn't pass it up and it says on Daiwa's website that the HARDBODZ has a small frame since they are all aluminum so hopefully it won't be as huge as I am expecting, and I plan on mounting it on a new Berkley 6' medium action lightning rod.

DAIWA CAPRICE HARDBODYZ All Aluminum Frame
CP3500 MH/M 3 BB, 1 RB 4.9 : 1 33.9" 13.80 10/240, 12/210, 14/170
