    hey all didn't want to make a new thread but this puzzled me. Was browsing around and saw a reel of bg80 for $60.

    1st thing that caught my eye was the color it was red and I personally never seen red BG80 reels before. Beside the LD packets

    2nd was the label it looks a bit off compared to other reels with the gauge in reverse order with the length of the reel.

    3rd missing a " -2 " after bg80 and the" B "is weirdly cut off.

    So what do you guys think ? Should I pass or take it? Apparently its only strung 2 rackets

    Doesn't look good. What's the original source? (link?)

    @what07's - I don't think they ever did red BG80 on a reel? (only pre-cut packets 'Lin Dan' special)
