Re: Christmas present question
Certainly a personal preference, but I rather have a used high end reel, as long as there's nothing mechanically wrong with it.

Re: Christmas present question
For the price of the battles, no reason not to just get a brand new one. For around 100 bucks, the Penn Battle 2 or the Daiwa BG would be my first choices.

Re: Christmas present question
The battles are great reels for the $$, and have held up very well for me.

Re: Christmas present question
Whether bucktailing fluke or battling stripers the reel has proven itself time and time again. Very nice gift!!!!

Re: Christmas present question
Beware of any used reels. Some are great that somebody just upgraded to a better reel, but most are not. It is not a great deal if the parts have been discontinued. The Penn Battle II is a good reel with a decent track record and the Daiwa BG is brand new this year, made well and good feedback so far.
