Bicycle announcements ? Say it ain’t so
Inpatiently waiting lol
Although i blew my cash on a pair of 71 mgls recently lol
Answer: Higher prices because all these retired rich guys pay $300 for a fishing reel and the profit margins are awesome
I moved over to Piscifun baitcasters.... $75 each.... no issues.... honestly.. i don't see any quality difference with any of the others or feature differences........ 5.7 oz weight!
If you try one you'll think you were bamboozzled by these top end names for years

Announcement is redesigns for the Ultegra, Twin Power SW, Twin Power XD, Exsence and Calcutta Conquest. I thought in celebration of 100 years it would have been an all new model line. Oh well.
Just found this on Youtube...don’t know if this is the big news though.

Wat
I am a poor, blue collar, 28yr old. I buy almost exclusively $300 shimano reels.
Why?
They are workhorses. I do not have time to take of my fishing reels. I want something I can put line on periodically and fish every weekend. If a reel starts crapping out I replace it, because if it was a shimano bantam or chronarch it is 3 or 4 years old, and I've got my monies worth.
Must not be to poor if you can afford $300 reels.
No Joke! I have 10 year old BPQ PQ reels that are still working great with my incredibly limited cleaning/repair skills!
I do have a few Shimanos, but they’re spinning reels that have spent their lives in the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico and they are still in great shape.
I'd be pissed if I only got 3-4 years out of a reel.
