Maverick Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's a Okuma Sheffield Gold S1002 ad the title states. It's new and comes with case. I am just getting into float fishing so would this be a good reel to start with? This reel is on eBay and I was just wondering what it would go for in stores? This is the info on the reel: - 4.5" diameter ultra smooth running centre pin - Stainless steel shaft - One piece machine cut aluminium frame - One piece machine cut aluminium spool - 2 German HPB stainless ball bearings - On/off ratchet - Neoprene reel pouch included - Line capacity: 275yds 8lb line - 5 year warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 A buddy or mine bought one new this year for $200 at some place in Orangeville. You can also get them for $200 on ebay shipped from Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucabrasi Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I started with the same reel. It's a good reel for the money (ie. what I paid for it). I got mine on ebay for $169 CDN. It retails for as much as $289 CDN. You can shop around and probably get it stateside for a lot cheaper. For $289 you could do a lot better with a used Islander or any of the Ravens. just my 0.02 Edited March 21, 2009 by rbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I personally... wouldn't have it!!!... there's too many good Shimano spinning reels out there for half the price!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Lake Steel Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I know where you can buy them new (with the store standing behind it) for 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
