I've been following the forums for a while and just joined, however, my business is now relocating me to Chicago, Illinois. Thus, I must sell two of my prized swording possessions. I'd rather place them here to give you guys a shot before they go on Ebay.
I have two Penn International II 50sw reels on custom rods. The reels and rods are both in awesome condition, maybe a slight scratch or blemish on either, but both in pristine condition. The rods are both beautiful pieces I had custom built for the reels, and I made them unique, so the combos do not match. Everything is in fine working condition ready to go. One of them I just stripped the line off of so it is ready to spool up and the other has 100 lb. mono, but it seems like many like to use JBHC on here.
For the first SW combination, it has a custom rod made by Custom Rods of South Florida, a private mom and pop operation that customizes rods to the T. The butt is a Stuart short curved butt and Aftco Big Foot guides. I have $500 in the reel and $625 in the rod a year ago. With slight use, 2-3 uses, I am asking $950 OBO for the combination!
For the second SW combination, it is very very unique. It is a custom rod, only one of its kind. It has one of a kind spider wrap that took a full week for the rod shop to do. I bought it from Xtreme Rods in West Palm Beach. It also has blue matching roller guides that are huge for your windon leaders (like the Big Foots). It has a stuart short curved butt. This combination is also in pristine condition, used twice in company with my other combination. I have $500 in the reel (bought both at the same time) and the rod I have about $1050 in, because it took so long to do this wrap. It is unbelievable.
Since I know you guys might not be as particular about your wraps as I am, I will not ask in the $1500 range for this. I am simply looking to sell and am asking $1100 OBO.
Whoever buys both of these combinations will get a special price at $1850 for both AND
will receive a free TLD 25 combination, and two SeaMaster lights used just once.
Please PM me with offers and such. I will have to list these on Ebay in a few days because I am getting ready to leave next week. Thanks for looking.
