3/4 of my XPs have SLX reels on them and the 4th has a Steez AII which is still pretty matchy matchy

Got me a Quantum Smoke PT baitcaster new for $115 eBay. Retails for $200. Virtually same reel as Tour S3, which I already have. Great under-the-radar reels, especially when you get them for near 50% off, which is not hard to do if you just save the search on eBay and get notifications when one posts. Easy to dial in, casts a mile, big line capacity. I use em for frogging and mid-sized swimbaits.

I nabbed one of these on Prime Day for $37.

 

Can’t be too mad if it doesn’t last. Thinking about putting it on a heavy moving bait setup. Might be staking Academy after Labor Day for a rod to pair it with.

Although I don’t need anymore reels I’m pretty upset that I missed that deal even though I searched for fishing gear during the Prime days sale

A local shop had these on sale during the 4th of July. The rod and reel were $75. They sold out quickly.  

 

They are really nice for the money. Way better than what you could get at that price 5-10 years ago.
