Insane pricing?

Jim · Dec 29, 2015

It's been a few years since I have purchased a baitcaster, but I scored an $80 Basspro card from my co-workers and was looking at buying a pitching/flipping reel.

I cannot believe the prices for some of these reels. Close to and over $300? Not for me! :lol:

Also I noticed Basspro does not have any Daiwa reels for sale on their site? What is up with that?

If you think that's insane, try pricing a bamboo fly rod. Over a thousand dollars for some of them.
:shock: :shock: :shock:

Go with the basspro pro qualifier line - great reel for the money

Abu Garcia Silver Max.
$60.
Black Max.
$50.
You don't have to spend $300 to get a great reel.

Even better- the BPS extreme low profiles are on clearance

They've got a full aluminum machined frame as opposed to the graphite of the Abu's in that price range

All my baitcasters are silvermax. I've got 2 smax2's while the other 4 are smax3's. I'm rough on my equipment but these have held up great.... Much better than my poles.
