#1420, "Pro Gear 454 Used $170"


          

For sale: Used $170

Pro Gear 454 aka Wahoo Special
This is a nice 40 lb. Reel
Gun Metal Color with some minor cosmetic scratches.
It has no clicker

The reel is in Great working order.

It sold new for $245

The reel has been maintained by a local tackle shop.

*updated with HT 100 Drag Washers

I used this reel for bounce balling, trolling, deep jigging and albacore fishing. It doesn't give much sport to WSB or Albacore, you just reel them right in. I do not use many reels, so I am looking for something a bit smaller (30lb) and I want a reel with a clicker (salmon and bounce balling)

The reel is in Santa Barbara CA


Here is some more Pro Gear information:

Model 454: weight with line shown in photo is 1.95 pounds.
line capacity as stated by Pro Gear is 350 yards of 40 pound test monofilament A one piece frame (actually, there are three major parts to these reels: left side plate/frame - one piece, spool and right side plate)
Easy removal of right side plate with the release of only two stainless steel screws - talk about taking care of your reel after a trip!
Stainless pinion gear with a manganese bronze main gear - smooth and durable
Sealed double shielded stainless ball bearings
Extendable offset power handle
Made with .001 tolerances - in order to know that the spool is spinning, I have had to mark the spool with a Magic Marker to see it!
Casting ability better than any reel on the market including the Newell.
Oversized composite Smoothie disc drags.
Minutely adjustable star drag system - better than any reel I have ever tried.
Plenty of line holding capacity.
Mil 8625 type 3 Class 2 anodizing.
The model 454 has a 3.5 inch diameter side plate
