I've been using a spinning reel since I was about 10, waiting til I was 45 or so to try to learn baitcasting was an exercize in frustration. I have a Ambassadeur 6501 C3, with the orginal box, manual, and sealed in a plastic bag, the wrench, oil, and a couple little pieces of black metal. I also have a set of Carbontex drag washers for it.

For rods, I have a Lamiglas 8'6" N386 HC Northwest Special that I picked up used. I had to do a little repair on the wraps on one of the guides.
I also have a Shimano Convergence CV100 MB 10'. I'm thinking 60 bucks a piece or if you take all three 150.

I have an interest in all three. KMP, Mark

what do you want for the reel?

ya that help i need to learn to read soon
