Members tsfinest Posted July 12, 2009 Members Posted July 12, 2009 I got there at 7:15 and just missed the fly rod that were'nt part of a combo....dang! I did get 3 fly reels, 4 combos and two reels. I got a really nice quantum 10 bearing spinning reel combo with a nice IM8 rod. It has really nice Fuji guides and delux grip for a wopping $12 bucks. I think the best buy was an Omega reel for my son for $15. It feels really solid. I'll see how long it takes him to destroy this one...lol I'll be looking forward to the next one. I was there when the doors opened but I guess I was looking in the wrong spot, didnt see any of the single fly rods until I saw some ppl carrying them around....10$, wish I wouldve gotten my hands on a couple. Still got some fly reels for 5, 10, and 20 dollars.
fly2fish Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I got my Browning Sterling 8' 3wt ($40) and Browning Citori reel ($20) from a guy that had gotten them from a employee sale a few years ago. Also bought 8 8' 5wt 6 pieces rods from him for less than $10 a piece gave them away to each of our company flyfishing club members that attended the Christmas dinner. The Browning rod and reel was the main door prize that I won, I kept the rod but put the reel back in the drawing because I had bought one for myself anyway. I knew an engineer there a few years ago that took some of the reels that failed quality inspection home and rebuilt them himself and sold or gave them away, he was not even a fisherman himself. F2F
