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.

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 :crazy: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
