It was Daiwa spinner day at the flea market, apparently. I got a big old ugly 407, an ugly 2500C, and a nice 1000C and SS number 1. I also found a DAM Quick 4001.

The 4001 is definitely the best of the bunch, at least in my opinion. 👍

My wife and son and I took a road trip to a new to us flea market. We
drove 3 hours to Rogers in Ohio. That is a huge flea market! We skipped most of the indoor parts, but we still walked 4 miles, 3 hours. Very crowded today.
I was looking for Shakespeare spin cast reels, and my usual Penn and Daiwa.

I found a Dam Quick 330. I say I'm not buying any more of tat era Dam Quicks, but I couldn't pass it up.
I found a Shakespeare 1755 Spin-Wondereel. That's the green underspin one that you turn the handle backward to cast. The seller insisted I take four more 1755 parts reels. All need handles or handle knobs, which seems like the part everyone needs on these.
I got a Shakespeare 2062 parts reel, which will get my other 2062 working.
The deal of the day was a Daiwa Millionaire 3H on a St. Croix rod for $1! It has decent braid in good shape, so I might not respool.

I cleaned up the Millionaire and 1755, spooled the 1755 and messed around in the yard with them. Both will be fishing, soon.

Today I found an Ambassaduer 7000, a Penn 309, an Airex Larchmont, an Airex Spinster, and another Shakespeare spin cast. I also got a box of partial reels, spools, and parts. There is most of a Dam Quick 550N. I need a few weeks off from the flea markets.

I just won the bid on a very old looking multi-piece bamboo rod. I've already got a few very old reels in mind for it.

I went crazy and spent WAY MORE than my monthly reel budget.
I will tell you if you promise not to rat on me.

I have no more money left in my reel budget for a few months.
1 was able to get these three 3RD Generation Spinfisher reels, New in Box, with low shipping cost.
$87, $119 and $135 shipped. I thought it was a good deal, so I bought all 3.
They are really pretty.

Steve, 3rd generation Penn Spinfishers are great looking/working reels. Are these staying new or getting used?

[sandbar]

MACflyer,
Heading to South Georgia in a few weeks and want to break out one for the Bull Reds that start coming through
there about this time each year. I'm looking for a suitable 10-11 ft surf rod to pair with the 7500.
We can also pier fish for them and I may use my old 650SS for that task with a shorter and more stout rod.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
-Steve

[Gfish]

Great deals on some great NIB spinners.

A 5 stack is worth its weight in gold on these reels, and 40# X8 braid spools beautifully.

Thanks Gfish !
That's the kind of encouragement/validation that I was looking for.
I had to buy them, right?
