Twist for you bait monkeys

Captmikestarrett · 08-11-08, 07:42 PM

I have a 9 foot cosmo split handle med. light surf rod. It is a two piece rod and has four extra guides custom made for steel...

I was using an ABU 5500 modified reel for years but the handle shaft has stripped. and I want to replace it with a level wind that my wife can handle.

I have been looking at ABU rockets but at 200 bucks it hurts to put such a fine piece of art in her hands..

BTW I cast she retrieves..

Abu Garcia 6501c Baitcaster. Left handed retrieve w/ brass gears and stainless steel bearings, perfect heavy duty reel. I have used one for over 10 yrs. for all my salmon fishing when I am back in the Pacific Northwest. It is totally indestructable.
