OMG....I don't know where to start, but you guys are making me feel a lot better. Sounds like a few of you joined the empty pockets club with me.

It all started with a trip to Alabama 5-6 weeks ago to pick up a Sea Ray 240 flybridge with twin I/O's, but it's never been a fishing boat so I'm trying to outfit it the best I can within my means knowing I'll upgrade as time goes on.

Mike, How do you like those Revos? I bought 3 of them. Very Smooth!

[Guest ReelDiel]

actually i'm still waiting on them to be deliverd from abu. Pretty much all my non trolling reels (baitcasters)are abu and i have always like there product from what i can see they seem to be a reel nice reel.

i have been using the old quantum 1310's and i really like them just a little heavy and big for casting all day.

i have to say the reel i judge them all against now is a BPS extreme i bought 2 of these last season on cleareance for like 40 bucks. i have to say they are some really sweet reels... i couldn't believe how well they performed for $40. i mean all day throwing spinnerbaits and cranks effortlessly.

What kind of spinning reels are you using????? I have the Okuma Inspira's sweet reels!!!!!
