Another reason I love this site.

Bid on a Daiwa sealine reel on ebay.  Knew all I needed too know from this site that reel was worth the $25 it was listed for.  Picture looked like a 400h but all the badges were missing.  Seller described problems I knew I could handle, in fact it's probablt just a cleaning.  Best part is that when it shows up it is 400h size and PACKED with spectra.  And that alone is worth more than I paid for the reel.  A set of Bryan's drags are in the way too.  I'm finding so many deals with the knowledge you guys have shared I'm never going to be able to fish them all.  Going to have to find a good swap meet to go to for an annual clean out so I can start all over again.
