Shimano Cruxis 200 baitcaster

[Lunker777]

Hey everyone

 

I just got a lead on a couple Shimano Cruxis 200 reels.... One is brand new never been used the other has been casted a few times ( According to the seller)

 

I can get both for $100 , just wondering if thats a good deal or not ???

 

Anyone ever use these reels ???

 

Thanks !

Here are some. http://www.reelreports.com/tackle-reviews/casting-reels/shimano/shimano-cruxis.html

Those are nice reviews Roy.

For $100, I think I'd jump on it. Never tried the Cruxis myself orther than handling them in the store but they have a nice feel for the retail price.

Thanks guys !!!

 

After reading the reviews I think I will jump on these reels.... Hell, if I dont like them, I could always sell them for what I bought them for !

i owned one of those reals and loved it.was the first decent bait caster i owned.it is not the best quality shimano makes but i abused it for 3 years and it never let me down.i would still be using it if i didn't loose it in cooks bay last year.it has been discontinued and replaced with the citica that i have now.i still miss that real.for that price you cant go wrong

If you are going to spend $100.00 on a baitcaster, why not put it toward a better reel?

These are plastic semi-toys, meant for beginners or once a year fishermen.

A used Curado would cost about the same and last you a lifetime.

Pay closer attention to the post. TWO reels for $100

Im not new to this game...I know these reels arent Curados or Abu premieres..... But for $50 a pop.... why not ?

 

I had a "plastic toy" Abu Black max(bottom of the barrel Bait caster from Abu $20 on ebay )... I just sold it to a buddy and that reel had been put through more crap then anything and still worked GREAT !!!!

 

Thanks for your input though !!
