Sluggoslinger: this is a great idea, BUT if you are going to get JohnR the Zeebaas, we should "buy" the one from Surflawyer (he is offering it for $1000 - see post #24 on this thread above). Keep in mind we would be helping him out as well.
Surflawyer's reel comes with TWO spools where the std kit has ONE spool. The reel direct from then is a "savings" of $26.00 and JohnR would get two spools and a low serial number as well !
