Bought the new Shimano Baitcaster with electronics

I just couldn't resist. I'm a gadget guy and love fishing, it just had to be. 5 bills is a lot of money, so I committed myself to finding a beter deal. Everyone was $499 on the net, looked for a coupon -- no go. However, with a little hesitation I bought one on eBay for $385! Got it 2 day later and went fishing that day.

Loaded it withe PowerPro 30 (I think),

Well, it casts like everyone says - unbelievable... In fact, I have a problem, I need to teach this old dog a new trick -- cast half as hard... It ain't hype, this thing is the "reel" deal.

Beyond electronic braking and high RPM spool spinning, this is the best reel I've owned. My go to reel was a centrificula brake Shimano Calcutta -- an excellent tool. This reel takes it a step further. Both the drag and the a the friction adjustment for the spool have fine click adjustments. The reel is a smooth as silk, the drag is just as smooth.

I'm happy to spend 4 bills on this fine tool and look forward to exploiting it's capabilities.

Steve, got mine with the "retirement check" back in December. Wow! Two words of caution though. First, you will suddenly have anxiety about a high dollar reel not being mated to a comparatively expensive rod. Be patient you will get past that; I did (at least for now). Second, don't be surprised if the braided line wraps up backwards on a hard cast. Just keep reminding yourself of your own words- "cast half as hard". Oh, did you buy used or new? Individual or retailer/wholesaler? I just got my fed tax refund and I am very much tempted to buy another. Da
