Mugen Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hey Guys I was on ebay the other day and saw this reel for 99 cents ,so I put a bid on it and won it....Pretty cheap,I know it's not your top dollar reel but for 99 cents + postage it's not bad..Now all I have to do is hook up some decent Kingy's to test it out.....What do you guys think...?

snag Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Mugen when you get it id check the LB rating and then get some good mono for it. As for 99c thats a real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
