Barely cheaper to buy second
Barely cheaper to buy second hand than shopping hard for new.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Blues
I bought a bit of second hand gear getting set for Exmouth, but generally found people asking way too much. Got sick of people saying 'loaded with 50lb line etc' as if the line was worth $100.
Two things I would highly recommend with 2nd hand gear if you are going to chase blues. Get rid of the old line...no matter what the seller says and get the reel serviced.
And after a few trips out you will probably prefer 8ow's....or at some point will!!!

Thanks for the advice West
Thanks for the advice West Coast.
I recently picked up 2 x Penn Int 70s and got them respooled with fresh 37 mono and Iv got 2 old Gladiator 50s with 37 Braid and a mono topshot. I want to upgrade these 2 reels and I should be set for my trailer boat setup.
I agree theres some over priced gear out there but when stuff Is priced right I try to grab what I need. Theres a lot of game gear sitting in sheds out there covered in cobwebs that might get used again or it might not.
