Wanted: Used Electric Reel and advise on which to look for

sunansea · 08-24-2005, 03:56 PM

Hello all,
Am looking to find a used electric reel to purchase, since a new one is out of my budget. I am also looking for some advise what reel setup I should use.
I am a student at Uiversity of Hawaii, and am flying a large kite balloon with ir instrumentation and camera rig for my graduate degree in geography.
If anyone has a used reel they could sell that will hold atleast 1000 feet of 250lb dacron, please contact me. The pull can be quite hefty in these trade winds, and a large billfish electric reel is what I'm guessing I need.
I am borrowing a penn 117 14/0, and it works but is very tiring, especally when done 3-4 times a day at different locations.
I thought this would be as good as spot as any to search. Thanks much. Aloha, Patrick (sunansea@yahoo.com)

seach for the user JahMussa. that is Tek's forum name. he can hook you up. You will probably want something from Kristal Fishing. If pull speed isnt an issue, you can probably get a less expensive model, i think they have about the same kind of pulling power.
