It's been almost a year since I posted this thread and I just got one of these from a seller in the UK.
Not only did I finally get a reel I've been wanting for years but got a good deal on it. It seems that everyone wants top dollar for this model and I've been opposed to spending more for a discontinued non collectable large arbor reel than I would pay for a brand new Sage Spectrum Max, I have no idea how this Swift will stack up against the Spectrum but I'll soon find out.
It's all been about getting the reel that was made to match up with my Swift rods here...… Now I'll be styling big time.
