    Howzit Nick. Reel and spool retail from R2000.00 - R 2500.00. I saw in a recent UK catalogue that reel and spool retails for 190 Pounds. Will suite line weight 5 - 7. The reel has a wide arbour but is slightly shallow so the higher the line weight, the less backing you can put on. It is really a fine piece of machinery. Made in finland and suitable for salt and freshwater. Everything seals off securely inside the reel and it has an excellent drag system. Very smooth.

    Which xplorer is it that you have?

    Sounds like a nice reel and a fair swap to me.......i was tongue in cheek with the rod.......its the entry level range, i was given it at a bells festival i attended,i have kept it for back up, i use a 5/6 guide series xplorer, and i have no complaints about the rod great for still water,i have a large arbour 5/6 eclipse reel for the rod,the two work great together.

    Am I understanding that you are talking about swapping the guide series and eclipse reel?
