New Toy on the way

[scottar]

Have just ordered a Ryobi Carnelian 12000 from Dinga for the princely sum of $99.00 - delivered. Alan Hawk gave it a bad rap but I figure if it shits itself, at that price I can throw a tanty and toss it in the drink. I'll look like a git (derogatory comments not required but if it makes you feel better go ahead) but it will make me feel better.

Note to self - detach it from the jig stick prior to tossing in ocean.

Allan Hawk knows his stuff, have fun with it, and good luck.

how did this reel perform?

I'll tell you if I ever get to use the thing in anger. Like many, I seem to have had a constant procession of work interruptions and cancelled trips for whatever reason. Even been a couple of times the words "sell" and " fn boat" have popped up in the same sentence but then sanity / lunacy prevails - not sure which.
