Off brand reels

t

I seen them on there, but dont know anyone who has taken the risk on them. If I could see the inside of the reel before buying would probably help. Id rather just buy a used 80w international for that price (maybe 50$ more).

i just emailed one of the sellers asking some questions i will post up what i get from them.

Unless you buy this type of reel dirty cheap, none of them has any values if there are no parts support for them. Its a one time buy.

email and response. that was fast.

Dear goldmanmedia,

Hi i am interested in buying one of these 80w reels as are a bunch of my friends but we are all unsure if the reel is worth it. how do these reels compare to avets? and also is there any way we can get pictures of the internals of the reel? we are beach fishing and we do get big sharks that need big reels we mostly have 80w avets, 14/0 and 16/0 senators. what brand are these reels so i can go to there website and look at the specs of the reels and see how the internals are built. we dont want to spend 500 bucks on a reel and not know if its going to last on the beach with us. Please get back to me with any information you can provide. Thank you.

That was quick reply I'm going to check out the site and see the specs

The site just gives you the breakdown not to much more info.

They look "pretty" I'll give em that. I like what I read about them, sounds pretty good to me, but I dont make alot of money, Idk if Id take the RISK on getting a p.o.s for that kind of money. They could be the sweetest deal out there, but Id like to play with one or talk to someone who fishes one before I personally commited to buying one. I want one now but like I said, lack the funds. As usual. If I could afford the risk I may just try em, but Id compare prices with Internationals (i own one and love it), Avet, etc. The usual suspects first. Maybe I'll save some cash and get one one of these days.

You want awesome reels that you've probably never heard of, get in contact with some Australian and African charter captains. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't make it a knock off.

Very true, I agree. I'll be the first to tell ya I dont know everything I kinda like having something different, ya know? Something "the guys" on the pier say "what the hell is that?" over.

Im like you idk if i want to spend the money on some pos!!! But they have like a 1yr warranty and 3yr on parts idk though i still think it might be a gamble but if i had some extra cash id probably buy one!!!

My okuma cavalla 20 makes people to say that when in action.

I kinda want one now, if I had the cash.

i have one of these reels, i bought it from one of the many neighborhood sales people... i have the 50 i havent tryed it out yet but for what i payed for it i cant lose....
