Wanted: 6501 c3 or other lefty baitcaster
« on: October 05, 2014, 09:47:00 AM »
As the title says, looking for a 6501 c3, can be just the frame and body, something with messed up internals, or good working lefty reel.
Let me know what you have
Thanks!

Do you have another left handed reel to trade. I have 2 6501s keep one as a back up. Might trade for a lighter left handed bait caster.

I have looked into it.
The frame is pooched because the screws broke off inside the frame, I drilled them out and put new screws in, but the part where the screws go in split, and a new frame is 50.
As far as I know the post on the side cover that holds the idler gear on, is a press fit and cant be repaired, thats 30 bux for a new side cover, so to have two properly working reels would cost almost as much as a new one. :(
Thanks for the responses :)

Just keep your eyes peeled on ebay
I picked up a "used"  brand new no box 6501 for a lefty buddy of mine recently for $64.50 + $8.99 shipping.
It took me a few weeks to win an auction for him but they do come around, just not as often as the 6500

I just started Centerpinning this season, and my casting is less than impressive. I'm eager to keep going with it, so I can likely let go of my c3. If you're looking to use it just for backup parts, would you be oppose to buying it from me in a few weeks when I get more settled as a caster? I'm hesitant to give it up until I'm confident in my casting... I may need to bring both rods out in the future, lol.

Had a whole reply typed up, and crapped the bed before posting.
Throwin Plastic, thanks for the link, I have been keeping an eye on ebay, etc as well.
Most of the auctions lately for 30 or so more I can buy locally and save the hassle.
Preliator, please keep me posted when you decide your ready to sell, I have a good working reel, and a parts one right now, so I should be ok to wait a few weeks.
Thanks again guys
