So I got these big suckers today...the fella even delivered them...they are Reef Queens already loaded with 1500m of 200lb braid so the fella said...they are $1200 each new and out of stock ATM......we paid $550 each....they look in good nick and seem to operate smooth enough ..I might just take the rollers off and soak them in vinegar to get them rolling more smoothly...
Bigger and heavier then they look in photo's being 350mm(14 inch) spool diameter and 10 kg each ..

I was thinking of fitting these flush mounts that the spigots just drop straight into when they are available again.....any better ideas out there...?
Flush Deck Mount - Alvey Reels
thanks for the tips and advice fella's...its a whole new fishing style for us never having used them before...
Cant wait to get them set up and watch the missus rip into a few Reds if the tradewinds ever cease...
