Cheap chinese [s]crap[/s] reels.

Heath is right, cheap chinese reels
but
this guy lives local to me so I went and scruffed on of the bait runners, cost me $20 + another $20 for 50lb braid to put on it. My thoughts were that I could through it up the front of the boat as a spare. Had it for about 12 months and caught a reasonable amount of fish on it. My thoughts are that if it (or when it) brakes it will be the reel seat as it does flex abit there.
Remember ya get what you pay for with fishing tackle

HI , I HAVE BOUGHT A LOT OF LURES AND TACKLE AND RODS AND REELS OF FORSYTH . MY BAITRUNNER IS VERY GOOD SEEING IT COST STUFF ALL USE AS A BAIT JIGGER FOR YAKKA'S , LANDED TREVALLY , COD & GOOD SIZE TAILOR ON IT WHILST JIGGING FOR BAIT . I CERTAINLY THINK THEY ARE ONE OF THE BETTER CHEAP CHINNESE REELS . I USE PENN REELS & RODS 8 ALL UP BOUGHT THE REEL AS A BAIT JIG BUT ALSO TO KEEP KIDS OF THE PENNS, THEY THINK ITS GOLD. FORSYTH LURES AND TACKLE IS WORTH A LOOK AS LURES ARE VERY CHEAP , SOME SMALL PROBLEMS TOWING STRAIGHT SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT OF THE TOWING EYE FIXES THAT . FOR BEGGINERS OR PEOPLE HOW WANT TO USE THEM AS A SECONDRY COMBO , BAIT JIGGER OR KIDS ETC , I THINK YOU CAN DO WORSE . BUT AS BLAZE & HEATH SAID CHEAP & YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR , KEEP IN MIND IF YOU MAINTAIN YOUR GEAR THEY WILL LAST . MY FORSYTH REELS & RODS ARE OVER 16 MONTHS OLD & LIKE NEW STILL . PENN REELS & RODS , UGLY STICKS , SHIMMANO & SCHNIDER ARE MY FAVOURITES . EVERY ONE HAS A BUDGET . IF YOU WANT TO SNAG SOME TOP QUALITY REELS , RODS & TACKLE DO WHAT I DO ON EBAY USE A PROGRAM CALLED THE BID SNIPER , EACH SNIPER IS 25CENTS AND SET YOUR BUFFER TO THE LAST 10-5 SECONDS OF THE AUCTION . THIS WILL STOP ANYONE OUTBIDDING YOU IN THE LAST FEW SECONDS. I USED TO WIN 3 OUT 10 AUCTIONS , NOW I WIN 7-9 AUCTIONS . I CAN SEND IT TO YOU IF YOU WANT , EMAIL ME WITH YOUR EMAIL SO I CAN REPLY AND SEND BIDSNIPER . rcboatnh@bigpond.net.au . GOOD LUCK , MAY YOUR RODS BEND MORE OFTEN . CHEERS MADKEEN1973

In 7 minutes I would have bought some Forsyth Tackle,

It's great (I don't care of quality because I will buy new tackle regularly) But for $8.00inc P&H I am getting 32 Jig Heads and 39 Curly Tail Grubs in seperate plastic boxes with color seperaters,

And thats really good (Seeing as at a shop *cough*K-Mart*cough* it's $15 for 5 jig heads!
