Super User Dan: Posted October 6, 2009 Super User Posted October 6, 2009 I'm a bargain hunter. I have some pretty good gear but I have never paid full price for any of it. What is the best bargain you've ever had on fishing gear? (Rods and reels) Mine was probably my Revo Premier that I got for like $140. I also got a Kistler Magnesium flipping stick for $90 Quote

BobP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 My best was the 4-5 Ambassadeur Promax 1600's and 3600's I got on Ebay for $35-70. Sweet little round reels with 8 bb's that originally sold for $169 back in the 60's and early 70's. I've owned a lot of bass reels and these are the best casting, least backlashing I've ever used.
