Seen those they are pre order not in stock. I never liked the idea of someone holding my money for an indefinite time.
There are a few retailers that will have them online Monday, who... I will be glad to share after I order my five. Lol! Scheels has them online.
I can't find them on scheels? link?
I have the Ceymar 500 on order from Tackledirect.com. They charged my card, so I am thinking they have them in stock.
Reeds is definitely the place to go. No tax and if you order over $100 the shipping is free. So I'm getting two of them delivered for $120 flat. Only one place had them for sale on Amazon and they were charging tax plus $10 per unit shipped. Complete rip-off
What size are you planning on GBH?
Just ordered 2 of the 500's myself from Reed's along with a TUCR deadstick rod. $229.97 shipped.
Imo, the tuned up custom rods site is the best deal. They install the carbonex drag washers upgrade on all new reels before selling them. Ordered mine from there.
What exactly is the drag washer upgrade? Is the factory drag that bad on these reels That they need a upgrade right out of the box? Or is it just a nice little free upgrade offered by TUC? I had thought about ordering through TUC but opted to save the money on tax and shipping. I have a couple Okuma ceymar reels and a Helios reel on 3 of my open water rods and have never had to do anything to the drags and have been happy with them. Hopefully my new micro ceymars don’t dissapoint
TUCR does the drag washer upgrade on every reel they sell.
I realize they do it on every reel. Im just wondering what exactly the upgrade is and what do you gain by doing it? Is it a noticeable difference? Like I said previously I own 3 other Okuma reels and have been happy with the drag performance. Im sure TUCR has their reasoning behind the upgrade just trying to better understand what one is to gain with it.
just trying to better understand what one is to gain with it.
Thanks for clarifying! I guess I can always do the up grade myself should I not be happy with the factory performance.
