Would anyone have an interest in basically giving reels to other members that you don't have a burning need for and don't want to deal with the aggravation of selling them on auction sites, or FB Marketplace? I figure those reels would at least land in a good home...thoughts?

We have always done this in a unorganised manner.  This could be a good idea.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I like this idea as I'm about to thin the herd of my loaner reels

I don't really want anything in return. I have a really clean Daiwa 406A, big spinning reel that I just KNOW I have no use for. If someone wants it, let me know via PM and I'll drop it in the mail.

The aggravating part of getting rid of reels is not the advertising, it's the shipping.

Steve,Alan learnt me about Paypal shipping,they use USPS,but the rate is cheaper & you get a tracking number. I sent Gregg a part for $5, it was less than a pound. It got to Hawaii quicker than going anywhere in the lower 48,I think he had it in 3 days!

James, for me, the problem is getting it into the hands of USPS.  I would have to either go to town or sit along the highway and hope to catch the very nice and very attractive mail lady when she comes by.  That quickly starts to look suspicious.

Sometimes if it is a cheap item I just leave in my mailbox & put the flag up.

Good idea.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Is it free to a good home or is it offer up and see who wants to swap?
