Design looks nice, I believe these are made by Daiwa for "Sportsline." Kinda like how Bass Pro and Cabelas reels are made by other 'big name manufacturers.'Quote:

At that price, I'd rather pick up other reels, IMO.
The other challenge is parts availability, BPS gear is decent but if you have to have them serviced sometimes it's difficult to get the parts unless you send it to BPS.Quote:

True. The reel just seemed like a good deal especially for a 300 size.Quote:

Hey guys go back in and click sellers other items, there are some nice prices on swivels, hooks, leaders, lip grippers,gloves and other items. I was looking at the gold and black 3000 spinner. looks good sounds sturdy, but then again its from hong kong. Not much infor on mfg'r.

That's one piece of advice that has actually rung true when it comes to the sport of fishing.
