Capt. Joey G is absolutely right. About the expo prices, their were a few bargain prices..... but for the most part, you could get the same price at your local dealer. My Dad Kezsr has been looking to find a new reel for offshore wreck trips. He is looking at the Shimano Torium 30 cause he likes mine. I didn't see a vendor selling them for less than $199, which I paid about 14 months ago. On a side note.... and I have have a bad habit of making side notes! I was considering gettin a power handle and talked to the Shimano reps, they said by no means would they ever reccomend it. The dealer rep said if you ever want you can adjust your stock handle length slightly (which I Know)
