Daiwa Capricorn XTC

[MABVA]

Looks like Daiwa resurected the Capricorn line of reels, as the Capricorn XTC. Burnt orange color and silver .I noticed them in a Dick's store near me(the sales flyer noted them as a "Dick's Exclusive").
The flyer also listed them on sale for $79.99 reduced from $139.99. Anyone have any experience with this new series?
   They do seem to be nice lower or mid range reels, but I am puzzled by the original price noted by Dick's.  This reel isn't equipped with the air bail as is every Daiwa reel from the Tierra ($114) and up.
   Could Dick's be using some marketing startegy here, pulling the original price out of thin air?

IMO those were the worst reels i've ever used in my life. I bought two from Dicks couple years ago of the first ones. Both didn't last a month.

Thanks for the information!! It seems Dick's IS just pulling that regular price out of thin air!

Well when i got mine they were around $69 on sale down from around $79 or $89. The new ones your talking about i haven't seen so i don't know what changes or upgrades have been made to them.
