I accidentally ordered a 1 lb (1,760 yard) spool of Green 30lb test Berkley Big Game the other day. It's brand new in the box. Enough to fill six 47 size reels. $30, buyer picks up in Ithaca or pays shipping. PM me here or email me at capt.bill@billyvsportfishing.com.

Every time I call I get the fax machine. Suggestions??

Congrats on the new ride Vince. Can't wait to see it and follow you around in rough water as you smash 5-7's into oblivion!

Must've been a broken strand or a a weak spot at your knot. I've tied that knot for years and have never had it fail either. Here's the knot that I use: http://www.lotsa.org/Wire%20Line%20Knot.htm

This needs to find a new home.

4 still for sale.

To the Top. These need to find a home.

Best of luck with the new store Brendan. We'll be sure to stop in when we're in Oswego this year.

Great fish Scott! There's been some BIG browns on Cayuga already this year!

Extendable boom and a swivel base. Other than that, they're the same.

Hate to argue with you Brian, but in a side-by-side comparison, it's actually a pretty darn close race between the Daiwa Saltist and the Shimano Tekota. I am in no way slamming the Shimano. It's an incredible reel and worthy of all the praise it's received over the years. But making a blanket statement about the Shimano being "all over" the Daiwa just isn't fair, especially when you actually take a look at the specs side-by-side. Daiwa STTLW30LCHA - 4 Super Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings, 1 Roller Bearing, 6.1:1 gear ratio, 35" of line picked up per handle turn, 19.40 oz, 230 yards of 25# test, 15.4 Max Drag, Carbon U.T. Drag Shimano Tekota 600LC - 3 Ball Bearings, 1 Roller Bearing, 4.2:1 gear ratio, 25" of line picked up per handle turn, 16.0 oz, 240 yards of 25# test, 16.0 Max Drag, Dartainium Drag You're right when you say it's Ford vs Chevy, so I will give you that!

If you have Cannon 'riggers, these holders are the single best upgrade you can possibly make to them. Absolutely a must have accessory!

2 are sold pending payment. 4 are still for sale.

3 days!! Can't wait!!!

RiggerRob, I'll be running the 6.1:1 gear ratio. I have them for both my riggers and my divers. I'm sticking with my Penn's for copper and my ADP57's for cores for now. I'll be sure to post my impressions of them here after we use them for a bit this spring. I can't see a downside to the gear ratios. My biggest gripe about all the reels I've used over the years has always been the slow retrieve rates. Now I finally have what I want. We'll see if what I've always wanted in a reel is any good or not pretty soon! Word from the few guys that ran them last year on their riggers was that they're pretty sweet and have amazing drags.

You gotta check out the new Daiwa Saltist. VERY nice! I gave up all my SG47LCA's and we'll be running these exclusively this year. http://www.daiwa.com/Reel/detail.aspx?ID=504 I really loved my SG47LCA's and you won't go wrong if you decide to continue with them.

I have 6 Traxstech adjustable rod holders for sale. They are all in excellent condition and have the lanyard and thumbscrews. These holders have five locking positions up and down and 45 degrees of side to side rotation, giving you the flexibility to position your rod for many different types of fishing. (Excellent for diver use). Base and Tube made of aircraft quality aluminum; working components are made of stainless steel to provide strength and prevent corrosion. These retail for $79.99. I'll let them go for $65 each. Buyer to pick them up in Ithaca or Sodus or pay shipping costs. You can PM me here, email me at capt.bill@billyvsportfishing.com, or call me at (607)592-9012. Thanks for looking!

Now all we gotta do is get Daiwa to make this reel in a 60 and 70 size for us and we're all set!
