Manufacturer: Miya Epoch
Model Number: US-20R
Series: Teaser Reels
Listed Item Condition: Used
These reels were removed from a high end custom sportfish boat that was recently sold. The new owner is undergoing an extensive refit and repower and went with a new set of teaser reels.
When we received them, both LCD's were completely burned and difficult to read (probably the main reason the owner opted for a new set). We rebuilt both LCD's to like-new condition in our LCD refurbishing lab, and ordered new fascia/overlays from Technotren so these reels look great. The reels have been hooked to power, functions cycled. Both appear to work with smooth reeling, levelwind, good clickers, good drag, etc.
The only disclosures are as follows:
1. There is some noticable "patina" like imperfections on the faux chrome leverdrag and drag adjustment knob. Additionally, the metal part of the leverdrag, the metal rods that run parallel to the spool, and the clicker button have some imperfections consistant with a reel that is permantly mounted in a saltwater environment. We have done our best to capture these in the photos.
2. On one reel, the forward metal rod that is part of the frame running between the end plates is slightly bent, on the other, the top rod has the same amount of bend. It is bent <1mm and has no affect on functionality whatsoever.
Other than these minor cosmetic disclosures, everything is as it should be and the reels do look great, especially with the refreshed fascia and the perfect LCD's. We are including 2x 8' OEM power cables for these. Please keep in mind these are teaser reels, they are not intended to be used as deep drop reels. They do not have reel seats.
We have done our best to explain and disclose what we know about these reels. We feel they would make an excellent choice for a budget minded captain looking for a good used set of teaser reels.
Thanks for looking.
