Just bought this reel about 2 weeks ago...It was a display model, but it is brand new...I'll also throw in a brand new 6' Graphite Rod made by Northwest Outfitters...This is a great reel and rod combo...It is BRAND NEW condition...I've used it about 5 times since I got it, caught 7 nice size bass with it...I just really need cash right now for my guitar fund, so someone will get this at a bargain...$149 value....it's yours for $70 plus shipping...PM me if interested... I live in central illinois...     -andrew

PS...I'll also throw in some 15 lbs line...another note...I cleaned the reel after every use...It is immaculate...thanks for looking!
