Where to get another VanStaal C-VEX 9/10

[PhilS]

I know VanStaal got bought by Zebco etc. At least now they're repairing stuff- I got my VS100 back in about 3 weeks from them...BUT, I need to find another Van Staal C-VEX 9/10 Fly reel quick. Anyone know where I might find one? I called Saltwater Edge, Kittery Trading Post and some others and they told me July..... --124-3

Any tips appreciated (though I probably wouldn't buy one on eBay unless it was from someone I knew).

Thanks

Did you do an internet search?... plugging in C-vex 9/10 generated a bunch of hits. The Bears Den in Taunton Mass showed a 9/10 for $440

I did search.....a few places show that they have them, but, alas, none seem to. I called Scott at Bear's Den and he has none, says he won't until August. I do have a Ross Big Game 9/10? reel and two spools for it. I may just take my 350gr line off one of thos and put a floater on there and keep the Int Striper Line on the other and go that way. It's just not as big an arbor or drag and I have less spools for it. Ifyou think of something else let me know.

not sure if you are trying to find one for below retail or simply trying to find one, but The Fish Hawk in Atlanta had several a few weeks ago. Type "fish hawk atlanta" into google for their number.

Know you said would not buy from Ebay but there is a gold 9/10 for sale. I purchase numerous items for sale and it is a great place to find items at good prices. Just be patient and do not get caught up in the bidding frenzy- don't let your ego get into it. here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dllViewItem&item=3661419770&category=23818. By the way, I am not the one selling that reel. Thought U may be interested. Good luck in your search.
