Man, that sounds like one awesome reel.if he says it is without question the best spinning reel ever made, you can bet your bottom dollar it is. I guess there is a reason they ain't cheap eh. This would have to be the Bugatti Veyron of the spin reel world, so no wonder it ain't $299.95 on super special at hunting and fishing! :-) Just looked online, couldn't see any prices anywhere....how much (gulp!) are they? ------------- It is only my overwhelming natural humility that mars my perfection.

Not as bad as I had thought, I was expecting a couple of grand, but that 5500 size....the one I would want... Only 1300aud. I wonder if they will be here in nz, will Britain wynyard be importing them, anyone know? ------------- It is only my overwhelming natural humility that mars my perfection.

Sounds like a marvelous creation......Glad i kept my 2008 stella's mind but the bar has been raised by Diawa by the sound of things. ------------- Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens. |
