CRUD150 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 My good fishing buddy was able to land a great 16.64lb rainbow in the Chantry derby. He won a RSG custom reel and a custom rod. We are just wondering what the value of this package might be. I suggested that he may want to schedule this on his home insurance. Thanks in advance for your comments.
blaque Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 $200 at its highest........does he want to sell Which model RSG is it?
misfish Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 $200 at its highest........does he want to sell Which model RSG is it? WOW You better sell now, you wont get a better offer. Nice prize. And fish too.

That package is probably close to 2k (Depending on the rod) The reel itself is well over $1000.
solopaddler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) The reel itself is well over $1000. For sure, probably $1400 anyway. My guess on both would be $2200. Nice prize, congrat's! Edited August 10, 2015 by Mike Borger
CRUD150 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Posted August 10, 2015 $200 at its highest........does he want to sell Which model RSG is it? Ha ha! Sure, we are lure washers, but we didn't just fall out of the bait bucket. Link to his website. It truly is a piece of art. http://rsgcustomreels.com/recent-builds.html
misfish Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I remember getting a link to his work. This would, if I could, would be my choice.
Spiel Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 If it was the orange one pictured here, it's not a center pin reel, it's a mooching reel. Ron's donation this year to the Chantry Classic. Value, not cheap.

Ron's donation this year to the Chantry Classic. Value, not cheap. Yup, buddy got the orange one. And yes, I understand it is a mooching reel. Thought it would value about the same as a custom float reel by RonSG. Do you have any info on the 13' rod that came with it?

Spiel Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 FYI, I would put the reel value solidly around $1,500 plus.
Gnote Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Nice job on the win, and my wife thought i was insane to pay 450 for my calcutta... Yeesh
manjo39 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Nice job on the win, and my wife thought i was insane to pay 450 for my calcutta... Yeesh You told your wife? lol
esoxansteel Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Wow what a generous prize, better then some of the Lake O Salmon Hunt prizes for sure, will definanately be bullet-proof for sure as all of RSG reels are
BillM Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 I'd love a few of Rons reels for some Lake O salmon action (Heck, who am I kidding, I'd use them for panfish off the dock :) )

Thought it would value about the same as a custom float reel by RonSG. Do you have any info on the 13' rod that came with it? WOW, very nice prize You sure the rod with it is 13 foot, I run a 10 1/2 with a moocher , that is pretty well standard. I find 10 1/2 long enough in a boat, especially alone.
BillM Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 13ft off a rigger in the boat by myself? No thanks, lol.
spinnerdoc Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Great prize. I'd slime those up in a heartbeat! Ron is a great guy, and even better reel maker
Gerritt Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 What's the difference between a centrepin and a mooching reel?
Dara Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Nice job on the win, and my wife thought i was insane to pay 450 for my calcutta... Yeesh The best I can hope for when I die is that my wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid Beauitifull reel..never seen anything like it
misfish Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) What's the difference between a centrepin and a mooching reel? I will give an answer, but Im sure my expertice will be upstaged.LOL The mooch is built for rigger fishing. It,s got a drag system, although it will smack your knuckles if your not use to them. Pin is free spin although some do have a drag, but not sure if they are the same as the mooch. Also line capacity is much more on the mooch then the pin as it,s a wider body. Im just comparing my old ABU mooch compared to my newer pins G. Im sure you can get a better def from others. Edit to add, I use my pin for rigger fishing and still have my knuckles.
