YES…I have 2 Tioga #4’s and a #2, which I will never give up! Nice reels, fine drag, tough finish, good value!

There is a lady on E-Bay that sells under the user name “Rancho Deluxe” and she is the one with the deals. I just bought a pair of #2’s for $85/each.

txbuddha, that’s the same seller i bought my #4 from. she had three more #4’s at the time i bought mine. she was very prompt in her emails. said she’d ship on monday. gets an A+ so far from me. i’d be interested to hear how your transaction turns out and the condition of your reels.

Tiogas are great reels at a bargain price. I’ve got a 4 and 6 for fresh water and they work great, nice drag. Used an 11 for false albacore when my Lamson experienced technical difficulties (handle came off) - drag held up just fine. $89 is a good deal, enjoy.

Regards,

dpenrod,

Mine ship Monday as well but I’ll post up as soon as they get here. She has been pretty prompt so far with me and has excellent feedback so I suspect all will be well. I’ll post as soon as I receive mine, please do the same as I’m interested in how your deal goes as well. E-Bay has been good to me lately!!

Mine came in today too, you can’t beat that for service! I just got through spooling backing and a Rio Grande on mine.
