Revo Premier Generation 2 Question

[Big-Bass]

I was on the big auction site and saw two NIB from a sporting goods store in NJ that were listed at $119 shipped each. They are sold out now but was that a decent price for this generation reel? Never put much thought into what these older reels are going for now. I had a Gen 1 STX, SC, and Premier but never used a 3 and the 4 felt not so comfortable in my hand. I collect/use Daiwa, Shimano, and Abu reels and I know many of the classic models go for a good amount. Thanks for the help on the random question while we get lambasted with 1-2 feet of snow here in the northeast. Best wishes on the water!

Yes, that's a good price, provided you don't mind a heavier reel. They were around or just above 8 oz iirc. On the plus side, they are tough and dependable.
Edit: I had STX on the brain. The premier is actually under 6.5 oz, so pretty light also.

That gen of that Doyo platform has a good reputation for being dependable. Even the low end China made BPS Pro Q from that gen is very long lived and has a better reputation than newer gens.

That's a great price! MSRP was $279 back in 2010(?). I still have 2 of them. Very similar to the 2014(?) blue Pflueger Patriarch. Just be mindful of the easily tarnished metallic surfaces.

I got 6 of those Pflueger Patriarchs, and 2 of the Patriarch XTs, all for ~$100 when they were getting discountinued. They still show up on eBay from time to time and are a good investment for bread & butter reels, IMHO. Especially after you service them with good oil and grease, feels like you're reeling with air.

I'm always surprised at how adding a handle with two bearings in each knob make almost any reel smooth.
I have several of the BPS Pro Qualifiers that are still smooth, after years of use, and they have bearings in their knobs.

Both of the Gen 2 Premiers arrived today NIB. They are really, really, nice. 6.4:1 so a nice all around ratio and I got the last two they had. They didn't have any in any other ratio but for $119 a reel I figured what the heck. Best wishes on the water.
