the stam has fished with the parker and never noticed any womanly smells eminating from the parker... and the stam will testify that the parker does not wear an ascot either, the parker does have one particular fishing shirt though.... The Parker always smells like roses! Roses, dammit! I *need* an ascot the next time I go fishing. Does J&H make an ascot?  Not too sure about that shirt, but I do tend to wear that Vision Hoodie - only because (insert J&H cool clothing Ho here) Bucket hasn't sent me that kick ass J&H Hoodie yet! Damn, I'm pathetic. I need help.

I need help. Bucket hasn't sent you the hoodie yet Parker because he's not done dragging it around behind the truck. Those that are chosen to get a hoodie must be of good moral character so as to benefit his company.

Does J&H make an ascot? I wish I could go to Google right now, and see if Bucket has googled that yet

without reading the entire chain of feedback (I hope this hasn't already been discussed), but I paid around $120 for my green bantam curado 201 in 1996 from Fisherman's. I still fish it and have only serviced it once. It looks pretty old, but the insides are clean. And I picked up another on a trade here at PP. My buddy had the same reel at the time, but it was stolen so he bought the most recently generation at around $200, but he likes it and has used it hard. I know you can find the older, first generation ones on eBay in near new condition for under $100- easier to find if you can do a 200 (right handed, not 201 left handed). The drags in these are available and can be repaired.
I also fish spoons with a chrome bantum 201sg with black handle. it is great with the reverve feature for feeding out line when extending a drfit, but I have been advised that you cannot replace the drags on these. And I see them on eBay for in the mid-$100-200 range. Ollie Damons told me that allot of guys buy them off eBay in "like new" condition and the drag is smoked!

You can replace the drag washers in the Bantam 201SG no problem. The part that wears out that you cannot replace is the gear for the handle.
