Would you or have you ever bought a used reel on eBay? or buy a used reel in general?

I have purchased a couple of used reels on e-bay along with a few other fishing items. So far so good, with no problems. But then again, I also bought my boat without ever taking it to the lake!! I got extremely lucky there and don't EVER suggest anyone do that!!!!! :banghead: :banghead:

I never had either but am about to in about another week. Just too good of a deal to pass up.

I like the warrranties that are offered with the new reels....well that and you can generally take them back to where you got them from for a full refund.

Be careful on ebay. Make sure the person have a HIGH, POSITIVE, FEEDBACK!! Good luck.

Yah the deals are real tempting! Only thing is most of the reels on there do not have manuals with them.

I was actually looking on eBay at the Quantum TG400cx and DS300cx 6.2:1 vs 5.1:1

Can you copy that link from ebay and post it here? I would like to see them myself.


If you feel like its a good deal then get them. Trial by error. I personally have never bought a reel off of ebay but that isn't to say I wouldn't. If the deel is good enough then I would.

I'm not so sure about the Bill Dance one but that tournament edition looks great.

I have never bought a used reel, but I have bought a reel on ebay. It is the Japanese version of the chronarch mg, and I got it new in the box for $175. :dance01: One sweet reel, matched with a G Loomis IMX mbr 782. By far the best combo I own. I would recommend sticking with a reputable dealer on ebay, esp. since you are getting it sight unseen.

Like I said before.... All of mine are used... just not that often :rofl2: Hugs... Sorry just had to...

All good advice and keep your eye on the shipping charges. Most are reasonable but some try to increase their profit margin through high shipping charges.
