Cabelas Surf Reel
Wondering if you guys saw the new cabelas surf reel?
Got the new catalog and the reel looks great.
Looks a lot like the daiwa emblem pro.
Has the same spool, line capacity, and weighs the same.
Already ordered two of them, one for me and one for my dad.
It's only 65 bucks too. Seems like a great deal.
I've had great luck with their products and customer service.
Any one seen or held one in person??

Hopefully rugged no nonsense design means reliable manual bail.

Do you realize how much Federal Excise Tax is lost every time one of these pieces of crap is imported into this country, whether it's a reel or a lure. They pay excise on the import price because that's considered "the final point of manufacture"
If that reel or lure was made in the US you pay 10% of the wholesale or constructive sale price. But because they pay on the import price it's not even CLOSE to what is paid by US manufacturers.
Disgusting.

Smaller version of basically a clone of that reel is $5.88/20pc
We'll call the bigger version $10/20pc
Cabela's buying by the thousand @ $1?
