Exalta
I sometimes keep a close eye on the traditional style reels market and have noticed
a sharp rise in the prices of the Exalta. There are loads currently on eBay when usually they
are few and far between, they must be the 'in reel' for collection.

Re: Exalta
I hope so. I have just picked up 3 new spare spools for the Exalta.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: Exalta
Indeed, every one seems to be in the £150+ region...they are good, but! I don't suppose there'll be panic buying of them at these prices, but as the world seems to be going mad,we just don't know anything anymore.
...and try finding a spare spring for one.

Re: Exalta
You could probably swap an Exalta for half a loo roll and a strip of lasagna.

Re: Exalta
The Exalta is a lovely reel to use. I prefer it to the Altex and use it for much of my carp fishing.

Re: Exalta
There was at least three in the Mullocks auction, it'll be interesting to see what they went for.

Re: Exalta
That's a little one sided, I would maybe accept if there was a piece of garlic bread involved....
Thanks

Re: Exalta
I watached the Mullocks auctions live on the first day, you could see him saying "goobye" to quite a few customers mid-way through as they were leaving or perhaps had got their eraly purchases, and prices generaly where not hitting the lower estimate. That said I don't know how he prices them. I didn't see the second day, but did check a few of the prices, geneally again 60% - 80% of the lower estimate. I think naturally people are not attending and possible thinking - why bother - I might not be here to use it, or sell it on. But again - i say I don't know how well previous auctions have reached reserve prices.

Re: Exalta
It’s the same even on eBay, as a keen auction watcher the Coronavirus is already having an effect on prices.in my opinion
