O/T.......WANTED......80s or 130s

Another Grand · 09-13-2006, 04:30 PM

If anybody has any used Tiagra 80's or 130's they are looking to part with I am in the market, please shoot me an IM. Paying cash. Sorry if this type of post isnt allowed on here. Preferrably not reels from Carolina or NE, in other words I would prefer reels that havent been used for Bluefins......Thanks,

Johnny

I like the way you think

RiskTaker · 09-13-2006, 06:27 PM

:roflmao: Or for even less when you get it used.

Johnny, that is too funny. I suppose you would rather have a 130 class reel that was USED for Kingfish, or for swordfish.

Yeah, I get your point. But do reels really wear out that bad if they have been fighting a big Blue FT. Drags can be serviced. Do you seriously degrade a reel when the hook is attached to a Volkswagen sized fish full of brute strength? I would think of it as the reel being well seasoned.

Oops, there goes another one, and Another Grand, to kick it up a notch.

I heard of someone selling a 130 class reel. I forgot the manufacturer name but it is the one where you crank one way and it is high gear and you crank in reverse and it is low gear. I think it was about $500. Say the word and I will make the connection so you two can talk.

Nick C · 09-13-2006, 06:32 PM

. RT... friend of mine had a 3 speed 12/0 fin nor... I do believe that had a reverse low gear too. Really cool!

130 huh bud... I may have to come over one day while you are studying and install new rod holders and backing plates :lol:

swordfish123 · 09-13-2006, 06:34 PM

That would be a Duel 12/0. there is also a 12/0W which holds about 100 yards more line i believe. Some people say they love the whole backwards reeling thing, but I think that would work best in a fighting chair, when you can stand up on the footrest and really pull back. I dont think this would work in a harness. Of course, whose gonna use a 130 in a harness :shock:

Still, even in the gunnel i dont think it would be practical.

Johnny, I got Penn 130 I've been using on my sabiki rod, interested? :badgrin:
I foght one on a 130 stand-up, never again. Always leave the 130's in the holder or in a chair.
I couldn't get a Penn 130 to fit in my 50 and 80 class Aftco butts/seats. I've never seen a short butt for a 130 class rod. Anyway, I could never make it comfortable enough to make it a good standup rig.
Maybe there is some custom option out there. anyone...anyone.... :?:

Another Grand · 09-13-2006, 09:44 PM

I am looking for Tiagra......preferably a deal on a 130 or 2 but would be willing to buy 3 80's if someonne else is looking to get new ones.

Thanks

RT....shoot me im with info you can get ahold oh him......thanks.

swordfish123 · 09-14-2006, 03:16 AM

Nightfigher makes a good point, you cannot put a 130 class reel on a short bent butt, they will only accept an 80 class reel. You would have to have it on an Aftco UB6C butt (130 class butt) which would really only fit properly on a chair rod.

I don't think that would be a problem for him. He makes some sick custom rods. hb

They fit nicely in my reinforced rod holders.

Johnny, I have a 130 but it is still smoking. :lol:

Uncle Buck · 09-14-2006, 09:55 AM

Where are they....??

We haven't seen too many of those in years. Just
look at the NOAA landings data.

There have however been a few this year.

I fished those reels giant fishing a couple of years ago. THEY SUCK!
The reel would not go into low with preasure on it, twice. One time it went completely into freespool. Luckily we had a glove on the spool and it didn't cost the fish. Stay away, the owner of the boat is a tackle dist., he gave them back.

Uncle Buck · 09-14-2006, 01:07 PM

So, how much 300lb spectra do ya think this could hold? :twisted:

Tuna Devil · 09-14-2006, 01:16 PM

Well there is the obvious problem.

how do you get your truck on the boat? :lol: :rabbit: :high

Uncle Buck · 09-14-2006, 01:58 PM

No problem at all... That's the portable version.

Tuna Devil · 09-14-2006, 02:07 PM

We can staple it to your back. :lol:
