Sorry, don't know where I stored your email address.

Forgot to tell you that I picked up a Penn Slammer 460 on eBay for under
$100, including shipping. I really wanted a 360, because it weighs about
8 ounces less...but none were available, and the 460 seemed a bargain -
at least $25 less than the big Bass Pro Shops supercenter in these here
parts.

I've got a Star "Kingfish Special" spinning rod I might mate it to,
though that one's a bit heavy.

I think I'll bring the new setup and one of my Calcutta rigs down to Bal
Harbour the end of next week. I know I won't have time for any offshore
trips, but I might sneak in two half-day near shore "adventures," or
even some peacock bass fishing in the Miami canals. No need for heavy gear.

That's a helluva deal. Let me know how you like it...and let me know how
you do in Miami. The Slammer 460 or the 560 will likely be my next reels.

I bought a *new* Penn Formula 10KG 2-speed lever drag (holds 800 yards of
20lb. class) on ebay a couple of weeks ago for $202 (Boater's World has 'em
for $299). I already had the same reel on a Star Deluxe 30/60 5'9" standup
rod and ordered a second rod to match. I have 200 yards of Ande 40 lb.
mono backing, and 300 yards of 65 lb. Powerpro. I'm waiting for the kingfish
run next month...and the tarpon run a few weeks later.

I've done *very* well on ebay so far:

JRC FF50 fishfinder for $700 (retail: $1499)
Raymarine Raychart 430 for $500 (retail almost $900)
Penn Formula 10kg for $202 (retail of $349)
Okuma Epixor EB30 for $50 (retail around $80)
Shimano Stradic 5000FG for $75 (retail around $125)

All of it except the Raychart were brand new. I just wonder if any were
stolen?!? All buyers seemed very legitimate, however.

The buyer is RWT. It is the sellers you need to worry about.

Whoops. Of course, you're right. I mistyped.

I've bought about 15 things on eBay over the years, and haven't been
screwed once by a seller, but you really have to know what you are
buying and how much it really sells for. The best price on the Internet
I saw for the Slammer 460 was around $125.

That's pretty heavy stuff for kingfish. I always used nothing more than
20# test for kings, with a 50# fluro leader. I have a 5'9" Star
standup, too, but I think it is rated lighter than yours. I use it with
a Shimano Charter Special with the lever drag. Got rid of all my heavier
stuff. These days, I use Calcutta 251s or Penn 4300-5500SS spinning reels.

Agreed. But I wanted reels matched with line that will serve
multi-purposes. I drag big Mann's Stretch 30's for Grouper, and the braided
line gets a 30' plug down to about 40' due to the narrower diameter of the
braided line. 65' powerpro has the diameter of about 12-15 lb. mono. The
braid works very well for bottom fishing and trolling, and is great for
tarpon and shark too.

My free-lined-bait setup is a Penn 7500SS with 30lb. Momoi Diamond mono.

Did you know that the owner of Henry's tackle has acquired Penn Reels and
Star rods?

Nope.

Quickcrete is only $2.50 a bag at Home Depot.
