One of the wal marts here sold 10 of them new in the box for 8 bucks a
piece. They also sold 5 curado's for 17 bucks a piece, I wasn't fortunate
enought to be there 10 minutes earlier. The guy with the calyx's had a smile
so big he was knocking people over with his lips everytime he turned around.
From a few of the stores I visited, it seems the calyx's were discounted big
time during the annual spring clearence sale. You will see them on e-bay, I
saw one sell the other day on e-bay for 36.00, Not bad for a 79.00 reel,
especially if you only paid 8 bucks, just a shame my max bid was 35.00

You got a reel that was returned by a customer to WalMart. Shimano does
not
put line on reels.

Take it back.
