That really ISN'T a bad price for a reel like that....thanx for the link... :D

The price is great. You can spend 300+ on a calcutta, trinidad, saltiga, etc. For half the price you get a reel that has better freespool, better drags and gearing and is made in America!

And CB- Jamestackle.com ships em for free. I'm sure others do too.

Yeah, thanks. I found them on a couple other sites that ship free as well. Also have a local tackle shop that has a fresh supply coming soon and he's gonna hold one for me. ;)

all my reels were near that price, some more, so that doesn't scare me!!

But I have been using Penn for so long that I am use to them, have extra parts, can get parts in a heart beat.

So I just think about getting parts fast, cheap, and if I can do it??

I will let CB go first then if he does ok I will jump in!! I use him for a guina pig first! :-*

CB What rod are you putting it on?

chumbucket · #8 03-04-2005, 08:41 PM

Got a couple of rods I may try before buying a new one. One is a Star Deluxe 7' DLX23C rated 20-30 / 2-6oz. Second is a St. Croix 7' TC70MHF rated 10-20.
I think either will match up nicely.

Hmmm........... I have $1,000 with nothing to do!! Just trying to think what I really need??

CB I was thinking about St Croix - I never owned one. I was looking at seekers and star. I have to actually go to the store to buy rods - I cant pick em by length, action, etc off a web site. Reels are easy.
