sold NO LONGER FOR SALE: shimano calais 100a mint

[kevinchen19870316]

well, i have got my eye on a daiwa millionaire ize ringa and i need to sell this beauty to fund that one.

the reel's bought 2 weeks ago and i used it in around 4 trips. i took good care of it after every session so it's working condition's 100% perfect:) .

there is 1 very very tiny scratches 2mm from the spool caused by my scissor when trying to cut the line in a birdnest:blush: but it's only visible when observed closely.

it's a right hand reel and it is the best low profile shimano apart from the 200DC. it cast sx48s beautifully even with 23lb braid.( i will leave the varivas casting PE 23lb on, it's thin as 6lb fireline:woohoo: .) U will be amazed at the buttery smoothness of the reel for sure.

i got the reel for 500aud shipped to door and the line cost 60aud at jone's tackle. i will sell it for 400aud and throw in a megabass X-80 (around 45aud here) new in box to sweeten the deal. so it total up to a 600aud value.

don't worry about the spare parts, calais 100a's a tough reel. in case u do need spare parts, i can get them for ya no problem.

[ando_04]

Yep so true, c'mon guys its a bargin. Can't belive no one has got it yet

[kevinchen19870316]

:whistle:

[Kingtin]

do you have much in your savings account kevin? a good option would be putting it towards a car maybe? just a suggestion

[kevinchen19870316]

i work to support fishing that's how i got my top gear but i don't have that much to get a car though. lol

[shortie]

Nice reel Kev. Cmon guys this is quality stuff.

Kev imagine how much more fishing you could do if ya had a car to get there. Awoonga is only 6 hours away.

[pcsolutionman]

lol yeh and monduran only 4

[kevinchen19870316]

And thats a bad thing why

[kevinchen19870316]

fishing of course

[shaunl]

would you consider a trade for a daiwa luna 203 in excellent condition? ie. used once. I am well aware that you're after a low profile but its worth an ask.

shaun.

[kevinchen19870316]

i am actually after a round shaped reel but there's a 300aud difference between the 2 reels. sorry mate

[Dan23]

Just a plug guys and you all know I'm good mates with Kev but this reel is in top condition. Kev treats his gear like fine china (get the punn).

But seriously it's a great reel. I'd buy it if I was after a BC.

[kevinchen19870316]

thanks daniel. i wish u didn't buy that advantage. lol.

[fishyman]

kevin your obsessed

[flathead]

hahahahahaha if u look closely at the reflection of the body of the reel u can see legs hahaha

sure?:laugh:

[ando_04]

What about swapping it for a rod.

G-loomis imx dsr820 s 4-8lb.

Not 100% sure about it, but let me know if your interseted.

[kevinchen19870316]

sorry, only trade i would consider will be NIB conquest 50S, daiwa millioniare RINGA, calcutta TE 100DC and alphas type R

[kevinchen19870316]

reel's not for sale now! ringa will be my birthday present from my fathere, lol.

[Feral]

Congrats Kevin! That will make a nice prezzy!

[Dan23]

Kevin! I'm disappointed no more casting 3g lures!:laugh:

"Pitching: With its Type R+, super tuned, GIGAS Spool, the I'ZE Light consistently outperformed the RinGa by five to eight feet with overall pitching distances approaching fifty feet in our tests with a three eighths ounce casting plug. Both reels freespool effortlessly, but the tuned rotor of the I'ZE light is obviously tailored for precisely this type of presentation and afforded us the ability to present jigs down to a quarter ounce in weight despite our rod's rating of 1/2 to 1 oz lures. We add, however, that these jigs had the additional weight burden of a trailer so realistically, they were between one quarter to half an ounce in total weight. Just the same, the RinGa was not able to handle these baits quite as easily. The I'ZE Light was a clear winner in this category"

[kevinchen19870316]

sure, i can;t wait. what i'll do is to locate a NIB ringa and he'll buy it for me. the reel's very hard to find though.

[Dan23]

You should get a I'ZE Light with a longer handle then it will be better.

[kevinchen19870316]

i wish, IZE light is very very very cheap here in australia. u can get them for 599 when they r sold in USA for 599 as well. OMG

that's why i said i wish i was fishing in FW. I'ZE light can't be used in SW
