Wow, some nice deals to be had!

BTW: in case anyone is wondering about the Eliminator, it very closely resembles the BG but apparently is a step below per this

"The Eliminator. This is meant to be a step below the BG, and it's priced cheaper accordingly. Prior to production this reel experimented with various sets of options, but ultimately the final production reel was considerably stripped down. The most notable differences between the Eliminator and the export BG are as follows; the Eliminator has a hexagon shaft handle attachment. It has 5 ball bearings instead of 6, the missing one being the spool's ball bearing. The drag knob of the Eliminator doesn't have the protective rubber seal. And the drag washers of the Eliminator are surface-treated felt instead of the carbon fibre washers of the BG." (https://www.alanhawk.com/blog/bgspw.html)


Oh, I did end up finding an Avet LX 6/3 (2spd) Gold reel for $250 after the coupon. It was the last one so I snagged it. That's a really great price. Thanks OP!

Thanks for the info on the Eliminator, my first thought was "I wonder how it compares to the BG". That seems like a lot of compromises compared to the BG though, I don't think it's worth it vs a BG unless you are on a very strict budget.
