Pro Gear Oceanus 30

Does anyone know any shops that still have one of these in stock? Out here on the East Coast it's not really common to see Pro Gears at all to begin with (even when they were chugging right along and a stable business).

Just looking for one reel, was wondering if you guys had someone to try calling. Thanks!

If any of you guys speak to someone from pro gear can you find if the twin drag is avaliable for the oc30 and post back here please. there is only a phone number on the pro gear site anthat would cost me a small fortune to call from here

I have one like new, with the upgrades from pro gear, it has 8 hrs of use from shore. $ 300.

Already got one... Beautifully crafted reel. Put it on a 12-30 pound 7 Star Plasma.

If I come across some money for another one I'll give you a shout

Put it to the test this weekend. It failed! (Well, I failed)

Got schooled drifting a wreck with a butterfly jig. I think the jig was way down in the wreck when it was hit... Very very big fish in about 210 feet of water, got him up around a couple of corners, but as I felt him coming around the third one, the line parted. It was above the 10 foot 60# leader and the 5 foot double line, so that guy must have been real far down in there.

Love the combo though, it's absolutely incredible to fish with. Not the tackle's fault this time... Had 30# Momoi Diamond on the reel, next time on that wreck I'll be dropping the 30/50 Triton Beastmaster with 60# diamond and a 15 foot 100# leader
