wingnut Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Where is a good place to buy these reels (CLR-553LS ). Over here on the east side of the state I'm having a hard time finding them. These seem like they would be good reels for copper wire line fishing, wide line guide, large line capacity and a fast line retrieve ratio.

wingnut Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Tony, I didn't know you sold reels too. I'd like to put one of these reels in my hands and check them out before I buy them, you're over on the west side of the state aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefull Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Nope, Saginaw area. I am sure Cabelas would have one in stock to play with? I sell pretty much everything,tackle, line, even retail rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've got a Cabelas and a BPS wthin a half hour but near lake erie, not much call for them. Neither one of the big shops list them on their web-site either. Is the 553LS a new model, It seems to be made for copper line trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefull Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I don't think it is new. I believe that they kind of re-tooled it to fill the gap between the Convector and the Catalina. They really went over the edge on pricing on the Cat, when compared to other reels in that price point. The Clarion looks like a really solid copper reel.
