I'm a fisherman just like you. I love to get out and go fishing as much as anyone. I also love to save money on my fishing gear! That's why I use eBay to buy my fishing reels, rods and other fishing equipment. The money I save allows me to buy more fishing gear (which doesn't make my Wife happy!).
It's not uncommon to get new or nearly new fishing reels for over half off on eBay. Like a few weeks ago when I bought a new Abu-Garcia 5500C for $39 plus $4.99 for shipping. Try getting a deal like that at your local sporting goods store or from one of the Big Sporting Goods catalogs.
