emjay,

im sure BPS will sell the HECK out of KVD products especially the red eye shad. BPS would probably make an extra million dollars in sales this week if they just jacked the price up 1 buck on them. Any who, if any of you are thinking about getting the KVD baitcaster......dont. Im talking about KVD signature series. When introduced they started out at $109.99, then they knocked it down to $99 after a little while and now it is on sale EVERY other week on the BPS online shopping site for $79.99. To me that means BPS is trying to dump these things any way possible. My Dad and I both bought them around this time last year on the reel trade in program and we have both returned them and got shimanos (extra $ but worth it in the long run). Reel was great for the first 5-10 trips out for me, super smooth and couldnt get backlash if you tried your hardest, then after that....terrible casting distance, backlash central and a clicking noise from the thumbar and spool on the cast. Dads had problems from the word get go. So dont spend your $100 bucks on this reel.

But really, I doubt anyone is going to be buying a $500 reel like a Steez

Even the Steez would not qualify for the $100. I think there is only one low profile casting reel that would get the $100, and that's not included since it's a Shimano (Calais DC).

My ball glove in high school said "Mickey Mantle" on it. You mean ....... that didn't make it catch any better???
