My New Reel

[markiemark70]

Many of you may have seen my post earlier this week called "Broken Reel", referring to my 20 year old Abu Garcia Cardinal reel that snapped in half.

 

Well I went to CT in Milton tonight just to "see" what they had. I had a budget in mind of $100. When I got there, the selection was not that great, but I saw this puppy and I thought it was kismet:

Who says history never repeats? From all accounts it seems like a pretty good reel for the money. I paid $70 (could have got it at BPS for $60 if I wanted to drive half hour each way on the 407 which would have cost me more than $10, not to mention the obligatory $100 in "extras" that always follow me out of BPS)

 

The wife and kids are heading out of town for an overnighter tomorrow. Can't wait to try this puppy out!!

I just picked one of those up for my ultra light. Very nice little reel
