I think I will order one and test their "free shipping" promise. ;-)

I have the 2 speed TLD30 and it is a class above similar sized reels.
Can,t beat a Shimano. :thumbup:

As long as it doesn't break :wink: .I loved all mine til they broke....
I had a bait caster, I took it apart to clean it, was never the same :roll: ...Thought I had screwed something up....Decided one day to send it to BPS reel repair....Got a email basically saying the reel I sent has a problem :smt017 , once you take it apart it never goes back together right :o ....They offered me a trade, so I got another Shimano :o :lol:

Gosh Chalk.... I don't know about you but if I had received that email I'd figured they were trying to tell me som'pun...

The operative phrase there is
once YOU take it apart it never goes back together right
:lol: :roll:

No, I knew they were telling the truth, cause I took it apart and put it back together 400 times, it almost became a small reef out from Econfina one day :o :lol:

I loved the reel when it worked though, it was sweet

I never take my multiplier reels apart.
I rinse them in warm water, when I return from a sea trip and lubricate them through the appropriate apertures (too embarrassed to say "nipples" :oops: ).

On my smaller Abu,s, changing the spools is as technical as it gets.

I found out long ago that.... me fiddling with reels = expense.
