Shimano Tekota

#1 Post by paulocallaghan »

just made another "investment"/ impulse buy. Bought a Shiamo Tekota LC 600 today off of the net for only E130. Compare this th upwards of E250 to get it in Ireland i think iv done ok. Just wondering if anyone else has the same reel and what they think, I know Mickeyfish has it and likes it but id like to hear from others

it means il cut others braid before they cut me :twisted: also id rather lose a rig than 200 foot of line, and also i got 2 miles of it for EUR 150 so i cant afford to buy anything lighter than that at the moment
