Not my cup of tea. Far too garish for me with all the shiny s4it.
What was that cobblers about "nearly changing reality", seriously, sod off with the utter nonsense.

I bet the price isn't budget, and with all imports being in short supply I doubt there will be many discounts available. Maybe if I win the lottery.

Well they have been discontinued now so surely the shops need to really slash the price. Can't be selling 50 quid less than these new ones

What a **** looking reel. Ultegra/XTC hybrid by any chance? I certainly won't be opening my wallet for a set of these, but I might however pick up a set of XTC's if they drop those to £300 a piece

You sure? They've been like hens teeth for ages now. As soon as they'd landed in shops they were gone. There are a few places with stock now.
I can only suppose that people being locked in their homes for ages and not much stock about due to muh Covid had a lot to do with the aforementioned.
Anyhoo, so when are your new Techs turning up. Must have put an order in by now seeing as you like a loada nice new shiny?

I won't be having any,even with what I could buy them at I won't.After owning the xtb mgs it has put me off,I like my Basia's too much.The only thing I'm tempted by is selling my castizms and my basias to get alot cheaper reels and put some money back in my arse pocket.The thing is own them now and have no need to sell them

Give the fox ones a go. Let's face it we don't keep reels forever so why not just upgrade the cheaper reels every few years. Or buy high end then sell after a few years at probably a bigger loss than buying cheaper ones new periodically
I'm tempted to get the new fox ones. Currently using emblem 35scw , and now I've put felt washers in there are tremendous EXCEPT the line goes behind the spool more than I like. Also line got trapped under drag knob. So very tempted by the new fox offering. I'm a very part time angler aswell so i don't need a 500 pound reel made of diamonds. And the cheaper reels that are produced will do the job I need perfectly fine. When I say cheaper I'm talking emblem price bracket.

If I was starting again I would definitely go down that route of cheaper reels as there is no way in hell these top end reels are worth the money.
