If anyone is in the market for Shimano reels, I have had good experiences dealing with Tek Watts at Reel Pro Shop. He has well below retail prices on all the top shelf Shimano reels. I'll try to post the email address as well as the price list below:
ReelProShop@bellsouth.net
Oops, can't seem to connect the price list but they are discounted rather well.
Mention you got his name from Mark Lewis.
