The moment I had $1200 to spend on a reel...I wouldn't.Instead I'd go to Amsterdam fry my brain and hit the redlight district.

Then I'd come back,fish my 704s and Spheros 8000s on my cheap Batsons and Ticas(and my discounted Lami) and still enjoy fishing but with even a bigger smile on my face!

If I had enough to buy two $1200 reels.....welcome aboard Clammah!!!

LOL! You have much to learn about boats if you think $2400 will get you very far.

gald when I went in 78 , 79 and 80 it didnt cost me 1200 for any of the activities you mentioned and then some . I think it was a 300 DM ($150 ) train ride

if you want to spend 1200 or more for a reel go ahead . would I ? Nope not even with free money from racing . but I have no problem with some that does . I prefer to buy cheaper for reasons I will keep to my self .

but flap you are crazy , at least thats what the other crazy told me .

hey ben will you let me use yours when you buy it ?
