mr. macey,
Basement is pretty clean, No, I need more reels. I can't imagine buying used equipment (never have)...I was just about to buy the same reels new but if you get them at a decent price then...I suppose its worth it. (the lever drag and level wind are good for bottom fishing with kids) The okuma is a good value reel for kids and guests. (personally I use penn international series)
Actually, now that I think about it...The titus is the series I really want. (more $) I want to avoid star drag. sorry not intersted. For some reason I thought the CONVECTOR series had lever drag. (brain must be frozen)
