Get a life guys, its a f#@#$@#$N fishing reel. No need to ever quantify the cost of fishing tackle IMO, its just too dangerous.
Remember, no matter how you break it out,the fisherman's calculator says a fish costs $75 per pound.
For $1,200 though,you could get two saltiga Z4500's and a 229 newell.
That $1,200 gets you one 16# fish if you do the math and apply the fisherman's calculator.
I gotta get back to work now.....
