THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP "Fiskadoro"
WOW!!! Even with my connections I still paid more for of each of the two I bought for my inshore stuff Hali's, sandies & calico's. I should buy a couple/three more for throwing swimmies for bucketmouths & jailbirds (= Mr. Stripee). That 's either a misprint or an overstock/clearance, but whatever we should nap them up!

I'd say it's got to be a mistake. They are listing the vender as Shimano. Worst case scenario they don't send them and you get Amazon to give you a refund. I've filed a few claims with Amazon and always got great service, either the item or my money back.

I've never run into that problem (fortunately) with Amazon.
Shimano might be clearing their inventory, making way for the new TranX. I'm going to check with Shimano, or a distributor on Monday.
I hate having to switch my bass reels from one rod to another, or in this case from fresh to saltwater rods.
Has anyone noticed that they're not showing up in catalogs?

Did you order one?

I'm thinking Shimano is coming out with a replacement at ICAST and blowing out the old models. Hence the shipping delay. I heard they're coming out with black Terez rods too... about time! Now if they could just put black knobs on the Trinidads and TranX.

I switched out all my white TN handles with dark grey replacements from a Stella 20K. Only a $20 upgrade.

You know I considered it but I did not order one.

I've got so many reels and since I always fish spectra I really prefer a magnetic over centrifugal braking. It's so cool that everyone is going to get one. It's not a reel I use but they are great reels and I knew you guys would have good use for them which is why I posted it here.

Happy endings all around
Congrats on your new reels

Thanks Fiskadoro. . .

a $250 reel for $80 + tax I had to get it.

Delivery Estimate: Friday July 19, 2013 - Tuesday August 20, 2013 by 8:00pm

I guess we'll see if it's truly the 300ej or something different.
