That's what I'm talking about! I think we all know my past experiences with reels; a handful of VS's, a Saltiga, and a pile of penns, all trashed. I would seriously consider a ZB if it came in a larger, 250 - 275 VS size.

The debate of "is it worth it" or "you're a bonehead" for spending that kind of cash is pointless. We have the right to speak our mind in this country, but to belittle another because of how they choose to spend their own heard earned money is childish and immature to no end. Would half of the people knocking others in this way have the marbles to say it face to face? Seriously, if you don't like something, don't buy it, don't watch it, or don't read it. It will get you nowhere to join in on the bashing at the end of the day. Be a man and walk away if it doesn't suit you.

The moment I had $1200 to spend on a reel...I wouldn't.Instead I'd go to Amsterdam fry my brain and hit the redlight district.

Then I'd come back,fish my 704s and Spheros 8000s on my cheap Batsons and Ticas(and my discounted Lami) and still enjoy fishing but with even a bigger smile on my face!

If I had enough to buy two $1200 reels.....welcome aboard Clammah!!!

LOL! You have much to learn about boats if you think $2400 will get you very far.

gald when I went in 78 , 79 and 80 it didnt cost me 1200 for any of the activities you mentioned and then some . I think it was a 300 DM ($150 ) train ride

if you want to spend 1200 or more for a reel go ahead . would I ? Nope not even with free money from racing . but I have no problem with some that does . I prefer to buy cheaper for reasons I will keep to my self .

but flap you are crazy , at least thats what the other crazy told me .

hey ben will you let me use yours when you buy it ?
