I forgot about the deals available for the GD's right now. Now, at the risk of disclosing one of my favorite sources for discounted gear, the Bob Marriot online store has a section for closeouts on demo and discontinued gear. There's a Teton #6 Large Arbor reel there now for $109. There's also a Redington GD 7/8 with a spare spool for $90. I'd jump on both of these but am strapped right now so there's a couple of pretty good deals for the having for someone.
