Most folk who are sponsored still pay for their gear. Granted at a lower cost but it isn't free.

Also, in order to have said sponsorship you need to help the company that sponsors you to sell their merchandise.

So let's say a company gives you 20-40% off retail. You need to buy a certain amount of gear from them annually and then spend YOUR time at shows, on-line etc raving about how awesome the stuff is...YOUR fishing time spent plugging their wear!

Unless you KVD or Izumi etc you aren't getting gear for free....

PROSTAFF in Canada means Promotional Staff.........

it's sick, palms so damn small like my cq51. smooth as butter, will have to try it this weekend.

I am truly not a fan of round reels but that right there is the only one I would ever consider purchasing.

Just downright gorgeous.

Please provide a review as to how it performs once you get her on the water.

Beauty reel right there!!!! I'm with Adam, I'd love a little review on that gem. And thanks for getting this thread back on track. Jon

This is one classy reel. Nothing quite like a round bait-casting reel.

I have added a new Dobyns (Daw-bins, Dough-bins, Dough_Been_ZZZZZ, Dogh-beans, DAWBINS) rod to my collection.
I am taking possession of a 706CB on Thursday night.
Now, I have to find a reel to go with it. Something cheap as I am running out of $$$

I wanted to fish tournaments this season but now I'm unemployed. Can't afford to now.

I have a 6.4:1 team gold speed spool that was used for a season that I might be willing to sell in a couple of weeks... I really want a Curado I and don't want to sell the patriarch xt...

Or just get that morum you want
