paul. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 5 bearing casting reels for less than 18 bucks? a lot of baits cost more than that. if you are a beginner wanting to start baitcasting reels or you just fun fish like i do, this deal borders on miraculous. not sure if it was just the jackson, tn store or this is company wide, but i thought i'd pass it on. good reels at the regular price, but this? wow!!! too good to pass up.

BenBassmaster Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Do they still have them at Dick's? Quote
paul. Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 i checked online and they are advertised at a reduced price, $34.97 i believe, but nowhere near as low as i paid. they had plenty of 'em at the store where i shop. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted September 23, 2012 Super User Posted September 23, 2012 wel if your store is running a 50% off clearance items (which end in .97, .47 and .x3 i believe) then the reel you got was 34.97 but rang up as 50% off. Quote
Super User deep Posted September 23, 2012 Super User Posted September 23, 2012 My local Walmart seemed to have some Pinnacles on clearance last week. I forget what model they were.. Quote
hooah212002 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I was thinking about picking one of these up strictly due to price. Are they ok reels? Quote
paul. Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 I was thinking about picking one of these up strictly due to price. Are they ok reels? yes. don't expect a revo or a curado, but they get the job done and do it well. Quote
hooah212002 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 yes. don't expect a revo or a curado, but they get the job done and do it well. awesome. The dicks I go to has a lefty and I was going to buy it to see if I like lefty any better. Quote
hooah212002 Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I picked one up a couple days ago and got it out yesterday.....not too happy. Sure, it makes good length casts, but it in doing so, it sounds like a dying giraffe. I don't know if this is what I get for going from 2 high quality reels to a cheap one or what, but it sounds like it's "spinning out"? when casting, if you can imagine that sound. Like maybe the bearings are loose or something. I will have to take it apart and see what the spool looks like inside, but doing so may spell the end of the reel lol because I have never taken one apart before and I can't afford to have it done professionally.

Return it and get your money back... Quote
hooah212002 Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Return it and get your money back... HAHA. Unfortunately, I am a moron and threw away everything that came with it except for the paperwork because something told me I may have to take it apart..... Do you suppose they would take it back without the packaging? :edit: I called and they said as long as I am exchanging, they will accept the return. Quote
