Had my new spincasting reel for one day..and it broke.

Despite having a bit of wear- and age-related jiggle in the handle, I kept the old Shimano TX1000 and would be happy to send it to you. I realize in the long run you'll probably want a new reel, but this way you could try out a trigger-release spinning reel without spending a bunch of $$. You would just need to pick up a spinning rod somewhere to use with it, $10-$20 at the discount department stores for a basic rod to test with.
When your testing is complete, even if you go another route, you can keep it as a spare or pass it down to some kid. :thumbup:

Just send me a PM with your address if you'd like it.

That would be excellent. will send pm in just a bit.
