At the Angler & Sponsor Banquet on Wednesday night of Championship Week, anglers will be able to bring an old reel, of any brand, to trade in and receive a new Abu Garcia Revo Rocket spinning reel.  The old reels that are donated will go to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for usage in various programs.
