buy!!!

I was in the "no new reels this year" mode, but I was intrigued by the threads on the Conquest 50 reels.

So I bought a 51S, and it's on its way.

I would also buy a high end reel with a low gear ratio to use with larger cranks, jerkbaits, etc.

I'd like to see your order when your in a "New reels mode"

JDM left hand Revo's. Lots of choices and decent prices from tackle dealers in Malaysia.

Okuma Komodo or Lew's tp

Gorgeous reels that perform as well as they look.

I got a chuckle from your comment.

I believe that I went through a "new reel" phase over the past two years, with my acquiring two Steez, three Core's, two Zillions, and a TDZ 105HL. All were bought in like-new condition from people here on TT. Also acquired three new Lew's Tournament Pro's, two of which I have sold. I got into the Lew's when I ran into pro angler Jason Quinn in a small tackle shop near Lake Wiley, SC. He recommended Lew's very highly.

My reel acquisitions have gone through phases. I began baitcasting seven or eight years ago, starting with Cabela's Prodigy reels and moving up to higher and higher quality reels until I reached the high level where I am right now. In the process, I bought and sold many reels, and it's been a learning experience.

I caved in.

TW sale + mil discount + work of art chunk of metal = to good to pass on

WTH. Pluton come with laser guided system now? Does it come with civilian version?

Got my eyes on a daiwa Steez 100hs JDM. With an Ito 80mm carbon fiber handle. As of now the highest speed reel I own is 6.8:1 ratio and the 7.1:1 is up my alley.

Pulled the trigger on a Shimano Twinpower C3000 today, from Japan! $347 to my door!

Most money I ever spent on a Spinning reel!! Now, for a suitable rod!

a crazy cranker for my crazy-8 rig and my deep divers.
