Norrie Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) For sale... My Common Skate gear, this comprises of....A Penn International 11 50SW two speed reel....capable of bringing in any fish in at least UK waters. Loaded with new 55KG Powerpro braid, IMHO, the finest braided line available...and to complete the line, a 200lb wind on leader. I bought this new a few years ago..its still the current model, fully serviced just a week ago...and in great condition...cost new from Glasgow Angling is...over £800.... Think I paid just over £600.... Reel does have some scratches etc and marks, BUT, from use and NOT abuse.... Rod...is an 80lb class Conoflex blank, custom built for me by a well known rod builder from Bristol...fitted with Stuart Rollers ( from the US ) they have just been stripped and rebuilt....the Butt is Aluminium, the rod has a fantastic black Gloss/Matt finish..and will easily cope with ANYTHING that swims around the UK...mibbes even the planet......it too has some marks, and scratches to the butt, but nothing at all to detract from doing the job perfectly well.. I've had many Common Skate up to 240lbs on this setup...and I'm only selling because I'm selling my boat as well...all to finance my love of my new hobby...shooting. Rod cost in the region of £300 to get built....and will last a lifetime.... Selling for £350.......or (once my ticket comes in ) swap for a .22 LR or .222 Price will include delivery by courier to your door. If you need any further pics etc etc...just PM me.
