Rapala reel

[SirCranksalot]

Does this sound right? The Rapala R-Type spinning reel for nearlr $200. Sounds a bit excessive.

Their prices on the website are really elevated. I bought a bulk lot of fishing equipment that had a bunch of their "seeker" series reels. good reels, but not worth the $150 they have them listed on the website for. Amazon has them for $99. I was selling them on kijiji for $70. Not sure what the theory is, but i think their website prices are even higher than msrp???

What do Stradics sell for these days?

I still use the ones that I bought 20 years ago. They seem to be a popular choice for other members too. I think I would be looking at a Stradic before I paid $200 for a Rapala.
