Monkey was gentle
Headed into Gander just to do a little browsing, which is all I did until I got near the reels.
The first thing that caught my attention was the $49.99 price tag on Solar Bat Pacifics. The 2nd was hugely discounted reels. Thought I was gonna get a Pflueger President BC for 75 bucks, till I found out they had no lefties. Ended up gettin an Exceler for $45. Had to tear myself away from the $60 Pflueger Supreme spinning reels....

Nice set up mallen. The monkey bit my a$$ good tonight. Out of boredom, we went to town (gadsden), and i went to Academy. Spent 83 bucks! So much for trying to save for the new trolling motor huh? This is why i TRY to avoid going ANYWHERE during winter. But i got some stuff i really needed this time. Got some SUFFIX braid 50#. Man it is expensive, 150 yds for $20.00! It better be lie silk gold at that price or i am gonna KILL some folks here. Of all the things i got i still didn't find any BULLET weights like i like.Wally world don't carry them anymore so i guess i am gonna have to hit the local sotres to find them. All in all had a good time getting out.

Nice Mallen, I wouldn't have been able to pass up the supreme spinning reel though.

Funny you should mention Sufix braid. On the way home, I had to slap myself. Bought my first baitcaster, which I will be practicing out in the snow, but didn't buy any braid! Stoopid Mallen....

Man....you ain't lyin'. Even after grabbing the Daiwa, I was still tempted to get 1, or 3, of the Supremes. I have one on my Iron Hawk, and it is one helluva reel. I really am thinkin of goin' back tomorrow. Not sure how the Exceler will work out, not exactly high end. But it was the only leftie they had, and the one dude says he has 5 of 'em. I musta talked with him for 20 minutes. Talkin 'bout baitcasters, frogs and Lake Dubonnet.

I can't agree or disagree on that, since Sufix Performance is the only braid I've used, but I have loved it right from the start.

Lol, I started at BPS braid (crap) and worked my way to PP, then to sufix.

I have an Exceler casting and a couple spinning reels. Really great for the price. I went to Gander today too but they didn't have any sales. I checked out an Avid 6'3" to replace my current skipping rod and a 7'10" Mojo Flippin' stick. Both were nice but no sales.

Cool. I never really checked out the Exceler casting reel at all. Bought it for the deal and kept my fingers crossed. I like my Exceler spinning reel, although the bail gets me cussin' from time to time. I really shoulda looked harder at the rods to see if there were any sales but I didn't notice any. I'm really tryin' to talk myself out of going back today

But than again, you can get the same reel with external cast control in the PQ. Folks on TT say the PQ has the same guts as the prez! Don't feel bad, mono is better to start with anyway. Just get some cheep XL or something like that.

Yeah, it's too bad Pflueger only makes one left-handed low-profile baitcaster: a 7.1:1 Patriarch, regular spool. But that is a good sign that they may expand to more lefty offerings soon.

The local Gander has Calcuttas marked down. I wanted to get one for swimbaits. Trouble is they're all lefties. Might just get bit.
