Ugh.... As any of my kids (students) will tell you, I may be the most OCD man you ever met. I could not stand to have different models. It would drive me crazy. (if Im not already crazy for being this way!!!)

I make my students turn their textbooks the same way under their desks before I dismiss them from class...........

just ordered 4 daiwa strikeforce , 6 plus 1 ball bearings, 30 dollars each . interested pm me .

BPS has an entry level Baitcaster for around 30 bucks new, with warranty. Gotta catch em on sale. They come in left handed models to. I use a left handed reel cause it made the transition from a spinner easier for me. I grab the poles with my right hand, and I can use the thumb bar to let out line, then re engage the reel with my left hand before I net the feesh.

I got Shakesperes at Grizzly Jig for 24 buck apiece....new with warranty

ordered 4 diawa strike force, 6 ball bearings yesterday. 30 dollars (must order 4). otherwise they are 35 .00 . send pm if interested . these are not plastic frame .

Right... That's why I was lookin for "cheap(ish)" baitcasters. Cant afford to buy 8 or 10 high price reels, and can't stand to buy 1 or 2 at a time, cause then they don't match! It's a curse, I tell you!!!!

Ahmen. I did have two diawas that matched but one flew out of the boat the other day
