MY IS73 is rodless and I could sell it but can't bring myself to do it..
I have an Alde MG 7 tuned by Ian, sweet reel and will just flat out cast and I could sell it but when i pick it up i fall in love again..lol i was just looking at the reels on my mantel that I have nothing going on with and trying to filter them out..
like my scorpions 1000 svs reels both have longer handles and are old and clean.. super clean
I said i will sell some stuff off and i will i guess i just have to stop touching them..

Re: Reel Selection
1. Try not sell at all (always feel sorry). I had a rod that I sold and bought 3 times (the same rod) at the end I let it go
2. Consolidating ( try to use same brand/model or at least have two or three of each reel). One of my favorite platform is Alphas, don't ask me how many of them I have...

Re: Reel Selection
I sell impulsively, much the same way I buy. If I think about it too long, I talk myself out of it. Most often, if its not being used regularly, it goes on the chopping block. It has become a fun little sidenote to actually going fishing. I take a loss most times, much like a bad gambler lol!

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Reel Selection
fund another project or purchase, or just didnt like the reel. i sold some shimanos that needed some work and i couldnt get time to get to them so i sold them cheap to somebody who was willing to fix and use them. but like the other members have said some reels i just cant get rid of and they are not even in use. I sold 12 sv 103s last year and im still hurting on that one but at least they went to a good home.

Re: Reel Selection
I sell mine when i get the itch to try a new reel or one that gets lots of praise.

Re: Reel Selection
Got tired of "shelf queens" really nice reels that were to purty to fish. Only kept one, the IP68L Dragon. Used the money to fund newer reels that I would actually use and not worry about a scratch. 2 Bantam Mgl, a Zillion HLC and a couple Tatula CT Type-R.
Actually don't miss them, maybe the IS63 Racing Illusion a little, but all in all very happy with the new additions. No worries, just fish em like ya stole em.!!!
