    Those are actually pretty good reels. If you switch out the handle it would be hard to tell the difference between some of the high priced ones.

    doesn't look like they make them with a left hand reel...

    I used one for double tens last year with the power handle and was pleasantly surprised. Other than the powerhandle itself bending once or twice while setting the hook (that's right), the thing was great. They have a good over the counter (or through the mail) warranty too. I'd recommend them for a back up.

    Oh yeah, I think they actually might be Pfluegers. Not sure, just a hunch.

    Does the sale start on Friday? And is it 20% off the price shown in the link? That would be a pretty good deal !!

    Also, don't forget that if you have an old reel that you don't want anymore and it still works you can trade it in for an additional $15 off that reel. The trade in program is running from February 27 to March 4. So you would essentially be getting 35% off the original price. You can find the details of that reel trade in on the back page of the circular link below.

    How does this reel compare to an abu garcia ambassador C4? Kind of got me thinking about purchasing one for throwing bucktails.

    I have had a couple of these, they were very good but the problem is there is no parts for repair. The first one my wife used and it lasted 1 season, sent it in to with the other reals to get cleaned after the season and their was a bunch of stuff broke that they could not get parts for.

    Bucktails on a C4 is like reeling in a drift sock. They're better for jerkbaits and gliders/wtd baits.
