#1 Post by gearoid mc s. »

Your better off buying in uk...try Glasgow Angling centre or Veals...or have a look on Ebay.I've bought all my fishing reels from either of those.
You'll find you'll save yourself a right few bob as well !!

Did you try Limerick Angling center and try and quote the mail order prices.

Cheapest way to get a 525 if from the US if you know anyone going over there to hand carry in to avoid duty.
