75 may be a long stretch for a new C4.....example: Cabela's shows them for 94.99.....and if legally brought into Canada, with all taxes paid, and exchange looked after, it comes to about 130.00 Canadian.
If you are looking at the crap-shoot entitled eeb, eh? There may be lower prices. But, let the buyer beware, as most sellers want obscene postal fees, driving the cost right back up.

Acknowledged, CK....(troll)....but it's still possibly a  post of interest for anybody entering the baitcast world, or wanting either a primary, or secondary reel. On deals: 2 years ago, there was a braggart on an American board telling the world he got Abu 7000's at 69.99 at his local branch of Acedemy Sports. In Texas. What a jerk.....several posters, myself included, got on his case for telling a price that no-one else could get, as he bought all 15 the store had in stock.  Another reason there are more horse's asses than there are horses..... :D :D :D

I bought 3 C4 6501's last year for 75.00 US a piece.  I found the price on line and a local shop matched it.

Seen in the Army and Navy flyer this week, they have the Daiwa Luna on for $319 and also noticed the Calcutta 400B was $249 (not in flyer).  Tempted to buy a Luna but have had years of good service with my old Calcutta.
