As far as sporting good stores that will let you try it out. I didn't find a one in Salt Lake that would. Gaylyans acted like I wanted ti sleep with their mom! The guy at Sportsmens Warehouse said he was too busy and he might do it if I came back at another time. Preferably in the AM before the real customers were there. Now neither of these fine stores get a dime of my money.
But the Sportmens Warehouse in Provo let me try out reels. Even though the kid had to spool line on each of them. I tried out three that I was interested in. And bought the Quantum Catalyst PTi. So if you are presistant someone will let you try it before you buy it. I mean at the price of todays fishing gear. it would really suck to spend the 100 bucks and find you just hated the reel. That would mean another trip back to the store to exchange it if too much time hadn't already gone by. I say go fine the store that will let you try it out first. They all have room in their parking lots for that. The Sportmens in Prov has an irragation ditch behind the store. And it has catchable fish. Not plugging their store guys, they just treated me like they wanted my business.
