Rods & Reels Purchased At Garage Sale

mike234 · 09-15-10, 07:20 AM

Recently purchased two baitcasting outfits at garage sale. One is a BPS Tourney Special 6'6" m Rod with a Rhino RBC 200 reel. The other is a Berkley Lightning Rod IM-6 6'6" m rod with a Daiwa
Triforce-Z 1531 reel. I am fimiliar with the rods but have never heard of these two model reels and I haven't been able to find much information on them. The Rhino reel is made by Zebco from what I can find out and cannot find any info on the Daiwa. Can any of you give me any info on the reels and your opionon of them.

Mike,
You might try doing a Google search for that particular model, but make sure you spell the brand properly: It's 'DAIWA' instead of 'DIAWA'... at least that's how the tackle suppliers spell it. If a search turns up nothing, the Daiwa website probably gives a toll-free number or a selection like 'contact us', where you can ask them about that reel model.

Thanks HM. Found info on the reel. Was easy when I spelled it right.

Found out both are the cheap (low end) reels. Only paid $20 each for them and purchased a Curado 200 on Shimano 6'6" MH rod for $40. When to truck to leave and felt bad about only giving lady $40 for her husbands Shimano rod and reel so when back and gave her $40 more. Felt sorry for her, when I started to leave with fishing equipment she had tears in her eyes. Her husband had passed away about 12 months earlier. Anyway the rods were probably worth the money without the reels.

I have a Rhino RBC300 Baitcasting reel, it's a size larger than the 200, it holds 165-yards of 12lb line. It's my only Baitcaster of right now so I use it for everything. I've caught a few Buzzbait fish on it and that's about it. It's a plastic framed reel but has an aluminum spool and brass gears. I like it but I'd love to upgrade...
