Looks good. Not tried them. How many yards of 6 lbs? I have been looking for larger capacity small reels for long lining. Picked up a nice combo at BPS on sale the other day. Just rather pay less.
Not but 80 yrds of 6 lb only 130 for 4 lb.
eBay eBay eBay!!! I've bought about a dozen reels off eBay now. If you search for "lot of spinning reels" you'll find many listings for 3-6 reels same brand,size, etc. some are close outs from grizzly jig or somewhere. Some are refirbs. I've got some out of fla on this deal...small..medium...they are on there...I have paid as little as $6.50 per reel!!!!! Awesome!
Never tried them, but with 7 Ball bearings, don't look like a bad deal. I have been fishing with some Diawa 1 and 2 Ball bearing reels reels I bought 4 years ago for $15 and still using them. For $20, I'd buy a couple!!Quote:

That aint good! Main reason i bought it was to add to my dockshooting collection. It has very smooth retrieve with the 7 bearings and drag feels top notch. The edge of the spool where the line comes off has a slight angle instead of straight . I was thinking this would allow the line to flow off the spool more freely when shooting, but could also be what would cause birdnest..as in more line coming off than intended! Its kind of heavy with mostly metal construction, feels like a high end diawa...its a good kind of heavy.Quote:

If Walmart is selling it for $20, it's nothing like a high-end Daiwa. ;)Quote:

But no way does it compare to a $250 reel... but im sure it would catch just as many fish. I havent had any problem catching fish with the $10 crappie maxx reels in the discount wholesale section of bass pro.Quote:
