Anyone ever heard of SANWOOD or Rosnek brand of reels ? Raining all day here so it eat, sleep or look for fishing gear on line. Both brands are on clearance at walmart.com. at about half price. Aluminum bodies, 10 to 12 ball bearings. They may be junk, but I ordered one each of the 5000 series. Hope they are as good as they sound, but for 20 bucks going to take a chance.
Have any updates?
I received the Rosnek reel yesterday, but it is still in the box. Operates very smoothly. Ships from an import center in NY, but cannot tell where it is made. All the line capacities are in mm and meters. I have braided line to spool on, but unsure how much backing mono I will need. I will be down to try the reels out in mid October and will know a lot more then good or bad.
"Ros" might be Russia.Quote:
