Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I would have gone with a used Billy Pate reel. Although it would have been right about up there at your top spending amount.. you could always sell it for exactly what you got in it. I bought an all black Pate Bonefish in Direct Drive for $210 off the eBay and sold it for $230 a year later. The drag on those Pate reels is second to none. BE CAREFUL on your reel to never get sand in the one way bearing. Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
