buying a reel?
I have been shopping around for quiete some time for a couple of reels. I evntually settled on two shimanos the ultegra 5500xtb and a superbaitrunner aero xte a 6000. Now in shopping around i found erics angling the best price for the ultegra 99st and glasgow anngling the best for the baitrunner 90st it was 104 in Erics but on their site they say they will match the price of a cheaper quote. They did so both reels for 200st. I think thats worth knowing and fair play pat

Re: buying a reel?
it is i suppose but what i really liked was having to pay postage its good to buy from one place. Often you will see one item at a good price but something else you want is cheaper elsewhere so matching the quote saves you double postage! Good luck with your reels!

Re: buying a reel?
They are great prices on those reels and they are both fantastic reels, you wont be disappointed. I must remember the name of that place for future reference, although it might be a while before I'll be buying any gear again.
