Purchases coming up.....

The price is great. You can spend 300+ on a calcutta, trinidad, saltiga, etc. For half the price you get a reel that has better freespool, better drags and gearing and is made in America!
 
Yeah, thanks. I found them on a couple other sites that ship free as well. Also have a local tackle shop that has a fresh supply coming soon and he's gonna hold one for me. ;)
 
all my reels were near that price, some more, so that doesn't scare me!!

But I have been using Penn for so long that I am use to them, have extra parts, can get parts in a heart beat.

So I just think about getting parts fast, cheap, and if I can do it??

I will let CB go first then if he does ok I will jump in!! I use him for a guina pig first! :-*
 
Got a couple of rods I may try before buying a new one. One is a Star Deluxe 7' DLX23C rated 20-30 / 2-6oz. Second is a St. Croix 7' TC70MHF rated 10-20.
I think either will match up nicely.
 
CB I was thinking about St Croix - I never owned one. I was looking at seekers and star. I have to actually go to the store to buy rods - I cant pick em by length, action, etc off a web site. Reels are easy.
 
I like to fondle them as well. You can't always depend on manufacturers ratings. Some conservative and some just don't live up to their stated ratings.

MJ.........need a little help with that 1,000 large? hmmmm??
 
MJ, if you can't find a use for that grand, give it to me and I'll endorse your support for the bracket-ed lifestyle. ;D
