Scored two really nice Magforce reels and a 30H in the past two weeks. The 170SH and the SMF 250.
I now have the 27,47,30H,50H,300,400,450 and pairs of the 600 and 900H's. Only the 350 is left.
Its all your fault Porthos. ;D

You gave into the Dark Side too easily...

...but don't forget about the 30SH...the Super Hi-Speed 30H...you need one of those too in your collection!!!

If I'm gonna be blamed for this, let's make sure it's justified.

The 300H/350H's had variants with lugged side-plates. Here's my 300H:


OH, and the 300H, 350H, 400H, 450H, and 600H came in SILVER frames too. Some examples:

This one is real pretty:

This one's way overpriced, though:

I have some silver ones too a 900, 600 and 400. I didn't know about the 30SH.

Here's my silver 350H:



It was mistakenly listed as a 300H on CL locally, but I bought it for $30 anyway because of the lugged plates that I wanted for my 300H. The left side plate 350H decal was missing, but my request to Daiwa for a replacement 300H decal was successful. So the 350H is currently "tagged" as a 300H. Except for the 350H frame and spool, all the other 350H's parts are intended to be a replacement inventory for my 300H. My two 50H's serve the same purpose; The 300H's 3.7:1 gears have been swapped out for the 50H's 4.2:1 gears. That's how I ended up with a dark gray, lugged, and 4.2:1 geared 300H.

My 30H, 300H, 400H's, and 600H's are working reels and serve as my main lineup--I don't have an extensive "tank'd Penn lineup to serve as my front line, and I DON'T intend to go there. The upgraded Sealines fulfill the majority what I need for a fraction of the $$$$ of what I've seen you guys put into the Penns.

I might pickup a 30SH if I happen across one for cheap but I'm not actively on the hunt. I defer that privilege to you.  ;)

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Nice haul, D. I stole a magforce some years ago at a pawn shop and found it an off the shelf tank for surf casting. as nice as the slosh and shxv cast, i think the magforce would pull them apart in an old-school truck pull.

Shark Hunter

I gave $90 for both the magforce reels shipped. I got lucky there.
Wai, Thanks for your input Buddy. I am in no Hurry. Good things come to those who wait. ;)

Nice. I know you'll be opening them up; let us see what you do there.

$45 average per MagForce isn't bad at all given the relative infrequency that they show up on Ebay.

Hey porthos, you think the silver frames are older models? I noticed when I took apart my 600h (silver frame) that there were slight differences, then in the parts diagram from Daiwa's website. An example that comes to mind is the lack of a spacer/washer on the freespool lever. There were a couple other differences, such as the bridgeplate. There are others but can't remember exactly what it is.

The grey models have a step at the bottom center of the main gear & the black ones don't if everything is original. The grey ones are the older of the two.

That would mean they started out gray, went to silver, and returned to gray before Daiwa retired them completely from the product line.

RowdyW

Grey, silver, half a dozen of one & six of the other. I believe black was the final color.

Porthos

Black...you mean the current lineup with "...composite..." frames?

Those would not be in the same class as the all metal Sealine H's...

RowdyW

No, black aluminum frame H models.
