Just curious
 

I am not selling just yet but how much do you think used 330gti's spooled with 30lb mamoi diamond line would sell for? Would they sell better with a rod even if it is like a shakespeare tidewater?

Price them both ways. Alone and then with a rod included. Would you take some fresh wild caught rock feeesh filets in trade:D...Don

I am kicking around the idea of going to Shimano Charter Special TR2000s for my planer lines. Wanted to see what 330 gtis were going for used./

Cheap amigo:D...Don

Greg,
I would possibly be interested in a few of them. Trying to get rid of some of my old Penn's from San Diego days, not the best reels for the bay...I was hoping that WM would have the BW special of $99 for the combos soon, but would possibly buy the reels as I have no use for the rods (moving to all 5'6" rods) and selling my old rods. Maybe we could have an impromptu fishing flea market!

I think last year at Tri-state the best price on a 330 I saw was $50 for the reel, but I'm not certain. If in good condition, I've seen them sell as high as $70.

Greg,I think they are only worth about $20.00 a piece in this depressed Economy,With the Rods.I'll be a Generous person and give ya' $30.00 each!:D:D:D. Funny thing you asked that..I was just thinking about getting a couple more.I have 2 and the rest 309's.Nothin' wrong with the 309's mind ya.I have Power Handles on all mine,makes a world of difference.[Mike]

Ive got a hardtop with 10 rod holders on order for my boat and will be looking for some decent cheap trolling combos soon so i'd be interested as well when your ready to sell.

OK Greg; I don't need any more reels so I'll give you the real (reel) scoop. If you sell the reels only, $60 would be a good price. You might get as much as $70 if the buyer wants 30# mono on the reel.
I can get a cheap rod for about $25-30 on sale from BPS or some tackle stores. So if you are selling a used rod, you might only get $15.
Bottom line, $60 for the reel, $75 for the combo. I think lots of guys would jump on them at this price. 5th (Marty)

Is there something wrong with Shakespeare Tidewater rods that I don't know about ? I bought several at Boaters World sometime ago.

mdracer;nothing wrong with the shakespeare tidewater rods. They work fine, it's just that there are many others out there that cost more and are a bit more expensive. As my shakespeare tidewater rods get replaced, I like the penn senator. It has the "slick butt" to help get it out of the rodholder and it has a middle roller guide as well as at the tip. The rod was on sale at Clydes last year for $70. I think thats a good price, but I don't know if it will be on sale again this year. 5th (Marty)

"Just Curious".....

Interesting title for this thread....

Baldzilla and JoeDirt were "just curious" that night they were alone together....

:eek:

Thought we were gonna try to clean this board up...obviously Slayer is not doing his part :(

Greg, I am saving my surplus reels and rods for my kids when they get their own boats....which is now getting darn close. As for me, I have quite a bit of stuff passed down to me that I still use, even several penn international 12h marlin reels still going strong. And I really like having them just from where they came from. So I would say it's not worth selling them, save them for your boy.....but sell that fish hook thing you use to hold the fish up for pictures! Steve

I am thinking of going to all Shimano Charter specials tr2000's. I have a deal I can get on them.

MDracer. Tidewaters are great rods. Durable, cheap and good action. i like em and use them a lot. If they had a stiff butt, al reel seat, and another guide they would be a near perfect rod for striper trolling.
