I BOUGHT THIS ROD FOR A TRIP TO THE DESCHUTES RIVER IN JUNE, USED IT FOR A TOTAL OF 2 HOURS, AND IT HAS SAT IN MY HALL CLOSET EVER SINCE. IT COST OVER $420 DOLLARS. I LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE FISH, AND THIS ROD IS SUCH HIGH QUALITY IT NEEDS TO BE WORKED! I AM ASKING $239 OR BEST OFFER. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS jockdoc1@cox.net. I CAN ACCEPT PAYMENT BY PAYPAL, CASH, CASHIER'S CHECKS, POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, OR PERSONAL CHECKS WITH ENOUGH TIME TO CLEAR. EMAIL ME FOR ANY QUESTIONS. IT REALLY IS A GREAT ROD. YOU CAN ALSO CALL ME AT (480) 206-3276. KP
