11justin22 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah I realize they are not actually part of the company but they have built reels for bps for a long time and I read somewhere that they were building the new lews. I could be mistaken, but the internals of all my bps reels my lews and abu are almost identical except for the drag design. I also know they are not exactly the same as far as materials being built. Was just saying they are of the same pedigree. Quote
fowlskies Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Whoaa!!! This thread got out of hand. A guy was simply trying to let people know of a good deal on a decent reel. I guess thats what u get for going against the Shimano posse. I'm a pinnacle fan myself for their quality at a given price, I find them hard to beat, since not everyone can afford a $200 reel. I might get banned for this by the Shimano crew , buuuut I just purchased a US Reel Hibbdon 800SX for $40 off Cabelas and can't wait to get it in. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 30, 2012 Super User Posted December 30, 2012 Really, banned? I apologized and was wrong. I would have deleted my post, but it was quoted and I wanted to leave Goose52's comments (and others) in context. -Kent Quote
fowlskies Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 LOL...just ragging on the Shimano guys, gotta get those jabs in when you can Quote

fowlskies Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Haha...no hate going on here. I thought that comment might get a few you guys riled up. Just trying to have a little fun on a day where the Giants didn't make the playoffs. Quote
jhoffman Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I fish lefties, every time there is a sale it never fails they dont have one, oh well I guess Ill keep forking out full price cause im not about to switch hands mid cast cycle. Quote
fowlskies Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Tell me about it I'm in the same situation trying to find a rifle. There are always sales for righties with scope included, not so for us lefties...luckily I use right handed BCs coming from using spinning reels exclusively. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Super User Posted December 31, 2012 This came in an email from BPS this morning. The cat's out of the bag now for sure.... 1 Quote
11justin22 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Yeah I got the same email. There won't be many more for long. I told several people that I know that fish. They bought a couple yesterday. Quote

11justin22 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Wow.... Glad i Got mine the other day. Quote
drew4779 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Bought one for my dad (glad I got one before you guys bought them all up). I have one and only my chronarch's get more time on the water. It's a great reel. My only complaint is the drag is a little light. Road warrior, have you tried one? It pains me to say it but it's smoother than any of my shimanos. Quote
BassingNick Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Just got my email that its been shipped...YAY!! Quote
Indiana Bass1 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I got both of mine today. Sweet reels. Quote
shimmy Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Uncle!I missed the Generation 1 vs 2 distinction. I would delete my post, but since it has been quoted and the basis for your very detailed reply...All I can say is your point is made with me. -Kent And this is why RW is the man. How many people get rebuked on an internet forum and come back with an apology?! Kent is the man period. Goose, you are the man as well, but y'all get the point. Quote
BassingNick Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Heads up!, looks like they are back on sale on the BPS website...get ya some!! Quote
mattk22 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Heads up!, looks like they are back on sale on the BPS website...get ya some!! I don't see that you can add them to your cart. Just like it has been all week. Quote
Diggy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I just got mine in, bought one used in LH off of a forum and I put it back on my carbonlite MH....feels so light. Im not letting this one go, made the mistake once already. Quote
