Nice reel Col! Happy to see this thread staying alive.

Thanks Guys,
            Was sure happy snaring this one for the shelf.
Yes, it has been a tad quiet on here of late Chris, I still look regularly, but seems there's not to many bargains to be had of late. F/Book seems to be the BIG go to now a days, a lot of newish collectors going hard there, hence prices seem to have sky rocketed..  Haven't yet hit any local markets where we moved to yet, but looking forward to scouring them for a potential bargain, once where settled in a bit more...

It's been a good week. I bought two 525 MAG's and a 955 off of OfferUp. I've been looking for a 525 for a good while now. The 955 wasn't a reel that was on my radar, but you don't see these pop up very often, and I just couldn't help myself. I'm a sucker for quality round baitcasters.

all nice reels!

[Crow]

Good catch !

Gotta love those round baitcasters. The gold finish on that 955 is gorgeous. Good find.

Thanks. It is a nice looking reel. I prefer this shade of gold to that of the calcutta's.

I was a bit hesitant to buy this reel, as I have heard some mixed reviews on them. I've seen multiple complaints about the eccentric button and the levelwind failing on these, and I even ran across an old post on a different forum where Alan admits he's not a big fan of these reels (corrosion issues).

For now I plan on using this exclusively for freshwater, and hopefully I get a chance soon to see how it fishes.

Good score.  Of course we all know how to deal with corrosion, just a dad will do ya'. Bill
