Refurbished Fishing Reels, Good Deal or Not?

Have you considered purchasing a refurbished or reconditioned fishing reel? Sometimes in order to own a higher priced or higher quality fishing reel that is constructed from composite materials, aluminum, graphite or carbon type products like what the stealth bomber is made out of, you need to buy used. Mainly, because a new reel costs too much.Well I don’t know about you, but buying a fishing reel from a guy that had this expensive reel in the garage for a couple years is not to comforting to me. Who knows where it’s been stored or if it really works as good as he says it does.

I would prefer to buy a fishing reel that has been used some then returned to the manufacturing company because they didn’t like it or something on the reel was not performing properly.The nice thing about buying a refurbished fishing reel is that they get returned to the company that makes the reel to get reconditioned or just inspected in order to make sure its OK to resell. They may need to replace a part that malfunctioned or just needs an adjustment. Sometimes refurbished reels are only returns from large retail stores that used them as display models. There may have been nothing wrong with it at all, its just been opened or handled by potential customers. The manufacture cannot sell the returned item as a new reel any longer, so they sell them as used or refurbished. I also found out that many reels returned are inventory close outs or overstock items at the end of a season. Mostly these reels are in great shape. They may have some scratches or tiny dents or some peeled paint, but they will work properly. If they don’t they back them with a 90 day warranty! At least the refurbished reels I have come in contact with do. I would not buy one without it.

I also learned that a refurbished reel is only resold again, as long as it didn’t have any internal damage. That reel would not be resold. That was comforting to know. Now that’s the way to buy a used fishing reel!Another benefit is that you can buy a refurbished fishing reel at about 30% or more less than new. Plus you get a warranty that backs its quality and reconditioned state directly from the manufacture. That’s better than taking a chance buying a used reel from someone’s garage with no warranty. So the next time you need a new fishing reel, don’t forget to take a look at the refurbished one’s. Maybe you can get a better quality reel than you were originally going to buy for the same price you would spend on a new one. At least take a look at them and see what is out there. Make sure you are getting a warranty from the manufacture. Good Fishing!

The solution to this age old design is the supercaster from the U.S. Reels company has no eyelet, so regardless of the line position on the spool the line leaves straight and virtually friction-free!
