I thought that they were the 6001, oh well, thats too good of a price to pass up.

Doubletake-
Thanks for the info. regarding the 6501's. Over here in the desert we don't see deals like that so I called the Issaquah store and placed my order yesterday.
Thanks again,
JSTEEL

Berkley Boy75-
When I called yesterday G.I. Joes said they have a lot of the 6501's and that they would remain on sale until they were gone. The # is 425-961-2000.

Warning: these are the "winch" models, i.e. low gear ratios. So unless y'all are hammering the bottomfish right now they may not be a good choice after all. Buyer beware!!!

BB -
Go up 405 and go East on I - 90. Take the first Issaquah / State park exit and stay right. At the first light you come to (after the offramp light) go left so you are headed East again. GIJoes will be on your right about 1/4 of a mile up and sits back off the road a little bit.
From Kent it is about a half hour drive.

Being mainly right-handed when cranking a reel, what is the $45 savings advantage to the left-hand crank?

Doubletake I stand corrected. The winch models are C4's not C3's. The catch with the C3's is that they are the older Special Editions. It should be all good though. Sorry for the cornfusion.

Hey BB75... I take it that they are all sold out at the New GI Joes on Kent Easthill? I was in there on Friday morning (got two 5601 C4 Winch). Hey CRWCBTRK... it is not that there is a $45 savings issue... it is how you want to cast and retrieve... I cast with my right hand and leave the rod in my right hand, I don't switch to retrieve line. I crank with my left hand. It seems that most guys are switch casters ... they cast with thier right hand and then switch the rod to the left hand and crank with thier right... It is what ever your use too... Tight Lines

wabowhunter:
Thanks for the run-down on your technique for using left-handed crank. I'll re-consider.
Jack:
When I called the Issaquah store, they said it was a sale in their store only. If you gained info to the contrary, let us know. I was at G.I. Joes here in Lynnwood 2 nights ago, and they did not have them on sale.
Good Luck.
