If you buy a reel from Academy and it breaks...You ship back to Shimano and they fix it...well that reel cant be re sold in a Major store like Academy but its still a good reel! So these small companies pick them up half price and sale on Ebay....

So you are getting a second hand reel or Refurbished reel. By Law they can say its brand new because it came from Shimano as a new reel after refurbished


Is this the case witrh every reel mr. Shimano/ebay rep? NO. Okay, so yes a majority are refurbished, but doesn't mean the on ehe bought is! Go train a monkey or something!!!
