Got me a reel

[Local_Guy]

i just won this on ebay.

should be good to hold 9wt line and a good 300m of backing.

just need a rod now.

anyone know much about these reels.
it's costing me about $56 after shipping. apparently they are about $100 give or take in the stores.

Whats your budget like? I only just picked up my ###### conquest rod and it casts nice.

i ordered a Eagle Hawk 9' 9wt rod today.
and i'm getting some 10wtF line for $12.00

localguy,
make sure you keep it clean after saltwater use .

There are some good bargins to be found on eBay at time. I recently got a Scientific anglers Sytem II with a spare spool + 2 fly lines for $140 bucks. But be aware I have also seen some dodgey stuff on ebay in general so remember. Buyer Beware.

ok. finally was able to test out this gear today. the reel i have is good. but not great as it doesn't have a drag you can adjust. but the drag won't overspool.
the rod is a Hawk saltwater 9" 9wt.
i'm running 10wt fly line, 250m of 30lb braid and another 100m 30lb mono in the centre so if i get this far i know i'm in trouble

it casts a dream. i've never had the line come out so straight and place so well in the water.

i'd prolly rate the outfit about 7.5 / 10. reasons being no adjustable drag on reel and though the rod casts well is still a lil stiff.
but for $130 who's complaining
