Need a beater reel for dirt cheap?
« on: March 28, 2013, 09:40:13 PM »
I picked one of these up while we were at Cabelas and I couldn't believe the price at $30. It's actually a very nice looking and feeling reel and pretty lightweight. Well I got on the site today to pick up a few more for Kayak fishing ( my kayak gear gets the hell beat out of it) and they were on sale for $19.  :o

I can't speak on the durability of this reel but I guarantee you'll be impressed when you see it and for that price you can't lose.The frame is cast and the spool is machined.

Best deal on a fly reel I've ever seen. Ever.

I just got two of the 7/8 reels I the mail yesterday.  Mike was right!  I really think these reels will hold up to stripers, redfish, and steelhead.
Two nice reels for $40.  Thanks for the tip.
