If its one of the new Blue Yonder they have not had the best reviews now being made in China. If it is the older Blue Yonder that came out in I think the late 80s? that occassionally appear on ebay then a good one is worth the asking price and are brillant reel fast but very castable and ultra smooth.Mine came from an angler in Asia and it is the first reel on a rod for me in the BOP. Why not just get a matching 6500 CR?
