Torn on what to do?? (24 posts / 3,515 views)

A mate of mine has a mint set of 3 10000 XSB mags, and wants to swap them for my 4 x mint set of 12000 XTA's which are basically the 10000 XTs with the bait runner spool.

Had those for a good ten years but they don't see much use at all, my day to day I use a set of Basiairs, so again not sure that the XSB's would see much use either.

Always wanted a set of XSB's so really not sure what to do.

Any thoughts chaps?

can't see the point of having either if you don't use them....?

(that sounds more blunt than I mean it too - hopefully you get my point)

If you're not using yours and your mate will get some use out of them then I'd go ahead and swap. it's a shame to have good kit just taking up shed space.

alternatively get them on eBay and treat the mrs with the money. brownie points are always useful

That's not a bad idea, the brownie points 👍

"Always wanted a set of XSB's" I think you've answered your own question really.

I've had both , 2 totally different reels , I kept my Mgs XSB's and just recently got rid of my XT techniums , as parts for these are hard to get now but I love them both and wish I'd kept the XTs in a way

Braders , no offence but line WILL go behind the spool on these at every little opportunity , unless you are very careful with them ,they have no line guard whatsoever , you've been warned 😂 what's wrong with the Power Aeros ?

The older XSC is much more user friendly , I've had a set I sold to a mate as I just had collected too many reels , the older XSC is probably the best of the best in my opinion of all the Techniums

Thanks gents, seems both reels have a bit of a following still, here's a question, can you still get parts for the XSB's or are they discontinued now like the older techniums?

Yes spares are available for the XSB's
Are you sure?
