These reels are no joke. The quality is as good or better. Heavy bail too. I'll bring this weekend. Wish cuts out the US markups.Interesting to see this thread after a year or two. At that price, I think I’d be fine replacing them. Could buy 5 of those for the cost an okay reel.
Ignore J...he thinks he’s better then other fisherpeoples because he uses them stupid reels that go on top of the rod.
