Boy those are sweet looking reels.

Those do look nice. How do they compare quality and price wise to an Abu Garcia Record or Shimano Calcutta?

Nice score Brian, you should feel guilty wink: :mrgreen:

WAYYYYyyy better and I mean WAY better quality than an ABu Garcia and much the same quality and price as a Calcuttta 400 but more steel, less plastic and made in USA!

Very cool Brian.

By the way - you're responsible for turning me on to the Internationals. I have a 955 and absolutely love it. I'm planning to add a 965 but right now I need another reel like a hole in the head.

I have a feeling my International(s) will be with me for a lifetime. Truly one the highest quality reel I've ever had the pleasure of using.

These are great long casting reels for the Kenai. I use the 975 CS packed with 60lb PowerPro for Kings.

You cant go wrong with them. I switched to them about 3 years ago and no troubles so far Tup:
