I bought a 60th anniversary reel when they first became available. My intention was to put it away and watch if the price might go up in a few years — then sell it at a profit. (Only 3,000 were made, supposedly)

 

TW has it on sale for less than I paid for mine. So much for prices going up ha ha. They still have some in stock and the sale has been going on for a while.

 

This leads me to believe that there is not much demand, nor will there be in the future.

 

 I’m torn, save it or just use it now. What would you do?

Do you like the reel, and have you used it..?  If it were me, and I did like the reel, I'd put it to good use. Then again in maybe 2 or 3 years down the road, they may go up in price, kind of a gamble if ya ask me.

Just use it. The reel enthusiasts would never want it and the normal fisherman would never want to pay the price. With all the variants of the tatula and at such low prices, there's better options. Put that bad boy to work!

Thanks for the advice. It’s still in the box, put away.

 

 I’m probably going to use it. 

You could always buy another one at the current sale price.

They're pretty cheap now.

One to use and one to stare at.

 

I think the one to hold on to will be the Tatula Sv. There's a new one on the way , but there's gonna be ppl that swear by the old one. Tackle trap has a killer deal on them right now. I am in no way affiliated, just passing along a good deal.

It isnt really a special reel like previous anniversary reels like the 50th og zillion. Just use it. 

If you're buying fishing reels as a retirement plan, I've got some bad news for you... 

I have several of the Zillion 50 anniversary reels.  I’ve been using them for years.

When it comes to fishing stuff, you just don’t know if something will go up.

 

Xcalibur XR50 or Paycheck Baits Transporter come to mind.
