Diawa Regal xi question/help pic inside

[Perfect Hook Set]

I was thinking about getting a Diawa Regal Xi, I found one for new $40 shipped.

Is $40 a good price, is there any other reel for $40 better then this one?

I know the XiA goes for $50 online without shipping

I found simple info about this real but, I would like and appreciate comments from anyone who has used or know someone who has used this reel.

Thanks

I think that's a relatively new model and maybe nobody's had a chance to use it. I've used Regals for years and have been pleased, but that's no help on that specific model.

I see would you happen to know if thats a good price, for it?

I bought one for my father in law about say 6-7 months ago for 49.99 at Cabelas.  It does not look like this model. Spool is different and it is a model XiA. Look on cabelas or bps web site and see if I am correct. I used it and it is ten bearing reel. A little heavy but not bad and very,very smooth. Again look at models and try and get XiA. This is newest regal model. Hope this helps!

SORRY! I should have read you checked on XiA. Been a long work day! I would spend extra $10 if you can. Newer model had Digigear which I think is really nice. Again sorry to have told you what you already knew. Still. If you have any questions about XiA please let me know I will be glad to help!
