What application are you plan on using the reel for?

live lining/jigging/chunking for bass/blues. Mostly on the bass pro 6'6" XH Muskie rod.
Figure I will stick 30 or most likely 50lb power pro on it.

Is this paypal deal for everyone with an account or did you get a special email offer or something?
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: mboy on November 28, 2007, 08:48:05 PM
It is for everyone with an active, valid paypal account and the vendor has to participate.

used my account to get 50 off an xbox 360 for our son for xmas. FF was going to use hers for the reel :)

Post by: Skolmann on November 28, 2007, 09:03:44 PM
My opinion and mine only is that both a lever drag and braid is overkill for what you intend to use it for.

For me, I'd spool it with #30 Momoi Diamond mono. Chunking/clamming, live lining and bass/blue jigging are the only style of fishing I still use mono for.

Mboy, where did you order the Xbox 360 and what was the price, if you don't mind me asking?  I am looking into getting one for my son.
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: mboy on November 28, 2007, 09:11:12 PM
I ordered from overstock.com, but they are sold out on that model now. I ordered the premium with HDMI. Check every couple of days there to see what they have.
Also go to paypal and see what vendors are participating.

Lot of good reports so far on this new reel and for $120 after all is said and done, is tough to resist too:

http://www.boatersworld.com/product/477673040.htm

Which would you guys do?

Avet for 170 or saltist 30hi for $120?
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: Bucktail on November 28, 2007, 09:36:41 PM
I'd go with the Saltist.  But if you can find a Torium for that price snag it! ;D

Do you have another link to the list of participating stores.  What I found was a list of 14 stores and Boater's World wasn't one of them.
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: mboy on November 28, 2007, 10:16:07 PM
That is the only list I have. I just happened upon boatersworld today and noticed the banner on top page.
Just go to boatersworld to see it right there.

Post by: Bucktail on November 28, 2007, 10:43:51 PM
Ok thanks.  It looks like Boater's World must be owned by the Ritz Camera people.

Hi Mboy,

My buddy owns two bait and tackle shops on LBI, and I have to tell you that he says that reel is a nightmare. This reel constantly comes in for service, salt and water finds their way in way to easy, causing much grief.
That avet seems cool, for all around, and with braid, as much as you fish I would up to 65lb braid. Just my opinion.
Good luck.

Thanks MIke. Just otugh deciding between sx and mx on the avets since I don't have acces to the reels :(

I guess I can order 1 and return if I decide it isn't the size I want.

Looks like the deal is over :(

Mboy, where did you order the Xbox 360 and what was the price, if you don't mind me asking?  I am looking into getting one for my son.

I've been able to locate plenty of the Xbox 360s both the Elite & Premiums. It's the Wii that I'm having a hard time finding.

I want the Wii (cause at least I think I'll be able to play it. I'm to uncoordinated to play Xbox or Play Station) while my son wants the Xbox.

I'm not too worries. 2 years ago I was able to find a Play Station 2 last minute and last year scooped up 2 Play Stations 3s (one for my son and one for my neighbor who I knew was looking).

It isn't about fidning one (that is fairly easy), it is finding one for the best price since they do not discount or put them on sale.
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: Skolmann on November 29, 2007, 10:55:53 AM
If you're an American Express card holder/member they are offering the Premium Xbox 360 for $350 ($100 off regular retail price) on 12/04/04..................Of course they only selling 150 of them at that price.
Title: Re: Couldn't resist this deal!
Post by: mboy on November 29, 2007, 11:05:24 AM
Not such a hot deal since the premiums cost 349.99 normally :)

Even @ Home Depot of all places"

Which ever Xbox sells for $450..I think I got confused between the Elite ($450) & Premium ($350).

The Elite comes with a 120 gig hard drive and is HDMI ready.

Post by: mboy on November 29, 2007, 12:52:31 PM
THAT is a good deal!

Got a link?

Got a link?

Google the phrase, "American Express Wish List"--that should take you there.
