    I believe they are just under $80.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.
    But don't forget the Roadrunners

    I just purchased one of these last week from Cabela's (currently on sale for 74.99) after months of looking I can say without a doubt - this thing is awesome !! I bought it for one of my ice jigging rods - however after using it for the first time this pass weekend I can tell you that it will be making its way to my UL vertical jigging rod for deep water crappie. The thing that is great about this is the free spool option - essentially you can put the reel in free spook and drop the smallest of jigs down to any depth. The free spool is ultra smooth with the ability to adjust the fall rate to what ever you want. The quality of construction is top grade, the one thing I was worried about was weight and a sense of being off balance with the big crank handle, but after using it for 6 hours I can tell you neither of these are an issue for me. For vertical jigging with a UL using a pistol grip - this is going to be my go to reel.

    If you have been looking at these like I did - just go for it and take advantage of the end of season sales going on right now.

    I have the alum version of the eagle claw (tony roach). What a terrible reel. I hate it. I have it on an ice rod and just cannot think of a worse reel. It feels cheap, drag sucks, is not greased or oiled at all, rattles and shakes around like nothing on it fits tight, and is way off balance (handle side is way heavier than the spool side). I only paid $20 for it on closeout and I don't even think it is worth that. It felt great at the store, but as soon as I got it on the water I realized what a POS it was.
