Fin-Nor spin reels for sale--SOLD

Fin-Nor Megalite 2000 and 3000 spinning reels for sale. Very good condition and well-suited for trout and reds.

Mike, How about WalkonH20 for your new name? Sounds like a good trade for both parties, although the sentimental value is always tough to deal with. Capt. Chuck really enjoyed Steve's new ride on the Aucilla the other night. And I'm sure you'll appreciate yours in St. George Sound when the winds pic...

Thanks Terrier. I've been checking on e-bay and have connections with Quantum, so that's why I was hoping to find one locally for parts. Steve, the Ahab series is different from the Mega-lite (better construction, it seems, but the same drag system), but thanks for the offer. I'll keep searching. I'...

Wanted: Fin-Nor Megalite 4000 spin reel for parts

Anyone on the forum got one laying around? These reels are no longer manufactured and I'm looking for one to cannabilize for replacement parts. Mine blew up on a nice Cubera snapper last week in Mexico. I have a set so for sentimental reasons I'd like to replace the broken bail on this particular mo...

No USB connection, internal antenna and battery-powered (2 AA). There is a contact point at the top of the unit. Will have to dig out the manual to verify it that's for a fixed mount connection. Can't remember. Menu includes mark, waypoints, route, tracks and setup. It's a very basic unit. I only us...

Tom, I cetainly could be wrong about the WR bait. My memory ain't what it used to be and the IGFA entries don't list those details. But if it was a classic red/white Spook, that is further proof that big trout hone in on big baits. But like other posts here, I've caught my share of nice trout on sma...

I've been fortunate enough to land two true gator trout so far in my angling career. The first--a 10-pounder--was caught and released in the Indian River off Hutchinson Island 15 years ago--it ate a DOA shallow-running BaitBuster in black/silver. The second--a 7-pounder--inhaled a bronze Owner topwa...

The Cobia 211 is a lot of boat for the money. Here's the link to the article describing our test.

Hart's Marine in Panama City was the dealer I worked with and based on their shop, they're very meticulous.

Nice fish, Supa. Those are some big girls.

Not sure who Nole has booked, but Capt. Basil Yelverton in Gulf Breeze is one of the top guides in the Pensacola area. He specializes in reds on fly, including the winter bulls.
