:cong:Roy !No Prob DB, I purchased it from Rok-Max in the UK, and total including shipping was GBP 337. It is Italian, so there was no EU duties involved as I had it shipped to Mum-in-law in Scotland. In the States they go for $620 and upwards so a big saving already. Also has a 3 year Factory Warrantee that they will honour in SA - EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Pieter Strobos has the SA Alutecnos distribution rights, but I believe he only brings limited quantities of 2 Speed boat reels (30, 50 and 80's), no Vertical Jigging reels.
I can't wait to get stretched on this Baby!!!!

I think the Penn 30VSW at the top of my list was just kicked off by this reel. Thanks for confusing the hell out of me. Now I have to start all over again and rethink my tackle setup.
Hope to see you in CT when you're down here.

FZ, I am down in the Cape from Sunday evening.....start the drive 2am on Sunday morning. If the South/SE STOPS blowing in the next few days, maybe I can get a few sea days early and some fish!!!!! (PS have spoken to local Witch Doctor, and have Tokolosh stones and Chicken Bones V2.2130 - latest edition guaranteed to control weather, water temps, and lastly to catch YFT). Only joking guys - if this stuff worked I would subscribe to it..... and the local witch doctors are even LESS predictable than Rapala VMC or Tatlow & Pledger or whatever their name is now......
Nepps is the pivot man / coordinator for the off-shore stuff, and hoping to spend some time in the baan as well with some of the "Weskus mense".....somehow (Dolphin? Wayne has promised that you will show me how to catch Baan elf - so expect a call on Tuesday!!!) , schedule fishing Vs Family stuff without causing too many drama scenes.....have the whole clan in BB incl outlaws, kids, dogs etc.
No bullshit, this is the nicest reel I have EVER, EVER had the opportunity to hold in my hands. It is also PURPOSE BUILT FOR VERTICAL JIGGING!!!!!! Not a 2spd Boat reel, not for anything else but VJ!!!!
My TRQ300 is VERY nice, but.....CHALK & CHEESE if I compare. Have to have a beeeeg feeeeesh on the other side of both to be able to give an Honest opinion on either of them. (Currently can only tell you guys how they shine - bling factor, and the drag on scales etc. But no fish yet, and that, essentially is the real measurement - how they (and me on the other side of the rod perform)). "Have the right weapons for the fight, just need to get into the right fights to prove the effectivity of the weapons".
My number is 079 438 2623, give me a shout bru can maybe meet up and catch a fish - or at least Try!
