Great looking reel, everything I have heard about these is positive, looks like you got a fantastic deal.

Crankbait · 09-03-11, 11:44 AM

i've worked on a few of those. $20 bucks that's crazy. cool shop owner!

Bassboss · 09-03-11, 12:15 PM

WOW!!

AWESOME find, I see em go for 100 bucks or more on ebay! Those reels are still able to compete with todays I hear!

Thanks for comments guys.In the 80's its the only reel that my Father and I would buy..Eventually sold them all and bought 4600's ,defiantly gonna keep my eye out for more good deals on them, this one was made in Japan.I think most of them where back then. They where bought and sold by a few different companies but they where always solid reels , especially the ones made by Shimano.

Great deal. Wish I could find some for that price, i'd buy them all. I too use the 4600's
I had two of these years ago and let them go cheap. Kickin' myself ever since.

I just lost another local shop, they had their "Going Out of Business" sale this past weekend, more and more are disappearing,. So, YES! Support your Local Shops! In fact buy as much as possible locally, and I don't mean your local Walmart.
