Jurassic Rod Auction for PSAT

islandshark633 · 08-01-2007, 12:11 PM

Unfortunately nobody won the custom rod I made for the Jurassic Drift Trolling prize so I am offering it up for auction with 100 % of the proceeds going to the PSAT program that the Jurassic Drift tournament was also sponsoring.

Please bid by posting on the thread or silently by PM me and I'll post the bid as anon. Minimum bid increase should be 110 % or more of the previous bid.

If you want to see it contact CATCHING as he has it at home.
Payment will be in CASH only.

Details-

80 pound Stand-Up Tuna blank
AFTCO Wind-On guides
Guides double independant wrapped
Purple Paua Shell inlay under the guides
Swordfish decal
Removable Black and Gold # 2 Straight Butt

Bidding Closes 11.59 pm August 15, 2007.

----------------------------------------------------------

I bid $330.

----------------------------------------------------------

Funny: All 80# class aluminum uni-butt rods with wind-on guides are light weight, right? If you want to kept them that way then you have to mount a 50 wide TLD or less, on them.

But if you mount an Aluminum frame 80 wide on there, they are no longer light weights and it still may be a nice rod for some of the fathers out there. But the Ladies are welcome to use it too, but wear flat heeled shoes.

Ssssh: don't tell the wifey. I am not supposed to be buying/"trying to obtain" any fishing tackle this month. Oh, but this is a Satellite tag donation/auction: " and ... I am trying to make a donation towards a Swordfish Satellite tag". Yeah Yeah that's the ticket.

Ok I have it composed correctly now, I hope!

So that is OK then. Just that this nice custom crafted rod from Islandshark goes to the highest PSAT tag donator, hah-hmm bidder.

islandshark633 · 08-07-2007, 09:21 AM

definately guaranteed to have great swordfish karma, perfect for stand-up trolling at night !

thanks for the bids RT and Smouldering1

smouldering1 · 08-07-2007, 09:43 PM

$375 my bid

islandshark633 · 08-15-2007, 06:18 PM

Bidding ends midnight tonight.....

RiskTaker · 08-15-2007, 10:16 PM

Gotcha ..... Hmmm, I am going to rest with my last bid. As it stands night now, it looks like Smouldering1, the firefighter may have won a new custom rod: built by a bottle-washer for a fire-washer. No wait: by fishermen for fishermen, that's the way it was supposed to sound.

Sounds like a good deal for a beautifully built custom rod with that Abalone shell in-lay (it is Abalone shell, right? ), plus a nice donation for PSAT tag funding.

Note: If by any chance that last bid of $375 falls through on final transaction, not that it will, but I will back up that bid as a counter offer but it must also include a BahamaLures Swordfish lure or a BL Red/Black Wahoo lure.

That counter-offer stands until the end of the Swordfish 203 trip or September 15, 2007 which ever occurs first.

Alan, no matter what, I'll see you on that Saturday. Let's see if we can't get tight while trolling one of those lures on the 203!

(Bring spares, as my lure bag has space for 3-4 more of your lures.)

Maybe somebody will simply bid higher before midnight tonight. Anybody ? Tick - tock - tick - tock

islandshark633 · 08-16-2007, 07:25 AM

looks like Smouldering1 takes it, please contact CATCHING via PM and pay him in cash only and he will give you the rod.

thank you all for the bids, see you on the 203
