New toy
Submitted by Colin Hay on Thu, 2008-11-27 14:48
I picked up a 3000 version of one of these last week at a great price at the Tackleshack. Thanks Doug and Matt.
Really smooth feeling reel with all the Daiwa bling.
Can't wait to give it a good test when I come back from a business trip to Sydney.
All the best, Colin Hay
