Dxh Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hey guys, just bought a Whiteriver 270 6-7wt reel for my 5wt rod today at bass pro, they were having a clearance sale on it, from 220 down to 89, to make room for new model coming in. Anyways, anyone have any experience with this reel? I was a bit worried about the size of the reel for my 5wt TFO, but its really light i think it will be just fine. Anyone heard anything bad?

FraserN Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the tip. I just purchased mine from Bass Pro. They are going to send me the reel in the mail. There are only 5 left. It was the correct size at the right price, so I could not pass it up. I have always wanted one of the newer high end reels to replace my (now almost destroyed) Hardy marquis #7. But over $200.00 is still too pricey for me. I cannot wait to try it out. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxh Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hey , no problem at all. If anyone is looking for a decent reel at an awesome price.. go see if you can get one before they are all gone. I got a chance to try it out today, works 10x better than what i had before. Very light and pretty sleek looking. I read a few reviews online that once the reel gets wet, the drag starts to lock up which worried me a little....but after a little slip and elbow deep in the river (rod reel and all) i can tell you i had no problems what so ever after it got wet. Besides the fact my sleeve started to freeze. 3 nice rainbows today though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
