Title: WTB - Low-Profile Baitcaster
Post by: wav789 on August 21, 2020, 10:19:06 AM: Looking for a lightly used low-profile reel, I'd like to get a setup for the upcoming coho season.

Preferably in the Chilliwack/Abbotsford area!

Very good reel. I had the same model just left handed. Left it with rod on parking lot last year on Vedder :(

Post by: chironomidking on August 22, 2020, 07:50:40 AM: I have a Shimano Curado 300E paired with a Shimano Technium 10’6” line wt 12-20lb. Must take as a package because I have no use for the rod without the reel. Rod may be a bit long and heavy for Fraser Valley coho but it handles Harrison chum nicely especially from the boat. I was planning on down sizing to a 8’6” rod for jigging but I already have 4 spinning setups!

I am thinking $250. Located in Cloverdale. Pickup only. Reel is RH retrieve.

Definitely interested..what kind of condition is the reel in and how old is it?

That is definitely a heavier rod for that reel but I can always repurpose it!

Reel is 8.5/10. A few light scratches. I can’t recall exactly when I bought it but I think around 2011. I used it less than 10 times.

Sounds like better than 8.5/10 perhaps?

Also is it the E series?
