Tackle warehouse has them for $181.  Does any one know where you can them cheaper, new of course?  I'm going to break down and get another. I'm not waiting till Spring for the new Shimano line to come out :'( .

Hold on a minute please.

O.K, I'm back.  Sorry about that but I had to lock the Bait Monkey outside. Now where were we?  Oh yea, buying a new reel.

Someone please help me!  The monkey broke in through the window and is carrying a new Loomis Cranking stick.  STOP! GET OUT!  Leave me alone before I call animal rescue on your furry butt.

Geez I hate this monkey.  

I haven't searched, but IMO you would be hard pressed to beat the TW deal.  I can't say that I haven't looked at that reel on their site quite a bit over the last 2-3 days. :-/ :-[

It's a good price.  Come on Burley, lets each buy one together.  Come on dude.  You can do it.  Break out the plastic.  180 bucks!  MMMMMMMMSweet.

Nah, I've bought enough shiz for 2008.  Plus I don't want all of my Curado E's to know I'm dipping my wick in something else.  

So the BaitMonkey struck you too?  The FBI should really put him on the Most Wanted List for "Extortion and Partially Conscious and Consenting Robbery"  ;D

I always keep an eye on ebay when I am shoping for price. Very often somone will throw up a low buy it now price for NIB with free shiping. Often they can be shimano lisenced dealers with full warrante. Although, with the quality of shimano customer service, pretty much any Shimano should be considered to have a good   warrante. That price sounds hard to beat, but I wouldn't bet against ebay.

Man they are $181 now, I bought one last week for $186, do you think they would refund that $5?  

I saw them on eBay for $150 shipped :-X
