This stuff would cost you over $1000 new. I bought it just a few months back intending to learn spey casting and go steelhead fishing. Having failed miserably at the former I am unlikely to do the latter, so you can get this "almost new" package for a steal.... $499 FIRM. Buyer pays shipping. I can accept paypal, and am member "michaelnel" on ebay with 100% rating, 82 transactions.

I am not interested in selling off parts of the above, only the whole package.

I know you said you wouldn't separate, but I would buy the entire package sans reel. Think about it.

I am interested, sorry to hear about you not being to enjoy it. I am new to the forum so I don't know what to do next. Call me 541-891-2657 Chris

FWIW:

That is a great outfit. All of the lines, tips, everything well matched to that rod. And the Decho is a nice rod as well. Sorry to hear you failed miserably at spey casting. Have you tried going over to the Golden Gate Anglers & Casting Club ponds? Those guys are good. And there is always someone hanging around and more than willing to help.

FWIW:

I am a member at GGACC, and several of the best spey casters there have spent time instructing me. I am just too much of a klutz. Plus, I just got laid off last week so stuff I am not using has to get turned into cash.

 

[Greg Price]

Sorry to hear of your layoff, my friend.

I too became a member of the coveted, exclusive club of the unemployed recently.

This has not been a great time for me. Laid off, then have spent the past week plus fighting off a case of double pneumonia. I was literally discharged into my own self-care this morning after spending almost a week in the hospital. I do want and need to sell this stuff, but right now I am too week to do much in the way of extraoardinary efforts to do so. I know I may miss the sales, but I have to get myself well.

 

[Michael Nelson]

OK, finally felt well enough this morning to bang out some rather crappy photos of the gear. This first one shows the reel, foam case, reel box, sink tips, package for the floating leader that is installed on the light blue Scandi line in the box, and a grass leader I made up for practicing your spey casting on grass as Ed Ward recommends:

The other two show the rod and details:

If you split the reel, you have a deal. I just don't need the reel. Let me know.

 

[Michael Nelson]

If you split the reel, you have a deal. I just don't need the reel. Let me know.

I have told you several times, I am not going to split it up. No matter how many times you ask.

 

[Cole]

You never once told me you were not going to split it for sure, even though I asked a couple of times.

Good luck with the sale.

This outfit has been sold. Thanks all!
