Shipping is free over $99, or $12 if less than $99.

Just for comparison, I also purchased the well rated Penn Fierce IV Carbon. The XT is a lot lighter. My rudimentary non exact scale records the Pflueger at .5 lb and Penn at 1 lb.

TU. Always appreciate a deal on solid fishing equipment. Just a heads up for anyone considering, this listing is for the older model of the XT (I think pre 2024) which originally retailed at 99 MSRP, newest model that has their "Total Line Control System" and slow oscillation retails for about 120 MSRP.

I love to see fishing deals, and this is a good price for this reel (and also a good reel for this price). But this is NOT a $200 reel.

Yes, it is definitely not a 200 dollar reel. In my opinion $83 for this reel is not slick, I used to buy it at bass pro shop promotions several years ago for $50. I know - inflation, blah blah blah - but still Smilie

Wow. That's a great price. I'd love the new one to be $50, but who knows if / when that will happen.

Oh - I don't know where the $200 price came from. I think there's an XT Reel and Rod combo about that price.

This is neither $200, nor $83 reel. This is a $50 reel and you are right. Inflation won't push a $50 reel to $83 in 1 year. Nowhere near a deal.
