I needed some heavier rods and reels to take up ocean fishing down in FL and have been looking thru the junk shops, but never a bargain comes up; hardly any fishing stuff at all. Next to the last day of the winter here and I dropped in the junkiest one and they had a hundred rods and reels...just had got hold of a bunch of them. There were bundles of five or six heavy duty rods for $25 bucks, but I reigned myself in and bought two rods and two reels. This one didn't turn out to be any huge deal, because it can be bought for $35 apparenely, and mine's all chipped up. It is well-made though, and has ball bearing action. I'm sure that I can take it all apart, clean and lube it, and it will be just fine. I mounted it on a 9 1/2 foot graphite rod with seven teflon insert eyes. It will be just dandy for fishing in the surf, or off a boat, whatever.
