These reels are available at the new Wholesale sports in Nanaimo.Feels like a quality reel.299 sounds a little steep though.
Might be investing in one if the bills ever come to an end.

Works better without flasher for sure, but I have been successful with larger fish while using a flasher. Best solution is a gun, but that would get my boat surrounded by green peacers. [}]

So, what's the problem?
Just be sure to bring extra ammo! [}

I also went with trophy last year. And in one year the drag went on it. I am a firm believer in the Islanders. Althoguh some of these knock offs are starting to look just as good. And some great feed back coming from the Rapala's. But as for the trophy I did not like the quality of the reel.

Im not sure what went wrong with it. but the drag started to get choppy. Maybe it was faulty. The coho could be a part of it. Those buggers hit like a train!

IF that was the case it sounds like you got the drag a bit wet all you have to do is wipe it all down and put some reel oil on it and it will be great again i do my reels at least once a month just because they get used a lot going up and down on the riggers and getting fish a bit of maintence on all your gear goes a long way.

I just received a couple for the showcase in our new shop and I think they look solid and ready to stand up to a lot of fish, but the drag sound is not my favourite, maybe a little too loud and tinny sounding. I have not loaded one with line or fished it so am not going to pass judgement but look forward to reading feedback on this thread, seeing as I have them for sale.

Slabby....try this for their "dealer locator". You may have to call around a bit but someone may have one. I seem to recall someone recently saying on one of the Forums that Berry's Bait in Richmond may have had a few?

I got mine from Aquatackle (http://www.aquatackle.com/) in Sidney (before I found the one in Calgary), came with a decent rod too.
He doesn't have an online store, but I just e-mailed him and he sent it out to me.
