Considering selling this combo....

.... but not too certain of an asking price. Cabela's Traditional 6'6" 2pc 2wt beautiful dark green blank with rosewood seat, lightly used cork grips and up locking reel seat. Reel is a Cabela's 3-4 wt Prestige Plus I spooled with backing, Cabela's Prestige WF-3-F bright green line and Scientific Anglers L2L leader. Extra spool is lined with backing, Cortland WF-2-F peach colored line and leader. Comes with a nice Cabela's rod Tube. Medium-fast action rod that throws easy 50+ foot casts for me. What would be a fair price for this rig?

The reel has been used more than the rod but all well cared for.

Eric,
I sent you a PM.

Tell you what Eric- you give me $50 and I'll "store" it for 6 months. Then if you decide you really don't want after 6 months I'll send you $50 for it. How's that sound? :)

You guessed it Joe. Although this rig has landed several trout from 7" to 20"+ it's primary duty was still waters for gills and crappie. The lines were cleaned and treated after I used the rod the last time as well as the rod itself. They will be cleaned a treated again before I sell this to anyone. The pictures really son't do that reel any justice as one cannot hold it and feel how smooth it's action is nor how good that drag system is. The finish on these Prestige Plus reels leaves a bit to be desired as far as durablility goes but the action makes them worth the price and more.

Swen,
L.o.L. I think I will pass on that one.http://bestsmileys.com/lol/13.gif

50% of retail would be a fair starting point in my mind. Swen's offer is not that unreasonable for a used older model rod/reel. You might be able to get a couple of bucks more, but it'll be in that ball park.

Dang Eric, I thought I had you on that one. My pillaging and plundering skills must be getting rusty.

Ah you might want to read Swen's post again. Also you didn't take into consideration the spare spool and line. Including the extra spool, line and backing I have just over $140 invested and the rig is about two and a half years old. Also consider you cannot get that rod (discontinued for the Traditional II model) in that weight at that length anymore. Nearest you can get in the new rod is 7'6" 4 weight 2pc with the reel, line, backing (no spare spool, line, backing) for $129.00 listed here:

Extra spool, line and backing cost me an additional $35 bucks.

Eric,
What you should REALLY get for that outfit is the urge to USE it again! Please don't throw in the towel....We're all praying for you.
Mike
ps: Do I really need to drive over there just to give you a good swift kick in the keister? ;)

Nah Mike this is really now a spare rod that I just don't use much anymore. My little custom built 5'2" 2pc 5wt bamboo took this rod's place on the small brush choked streams as well as still water for big gills. This one took the place of the 2wt:

Come on over because they just put a healthy stock of breeder bows in Holman Lake at Little Buffalo State Park.

Oh what torture! Of course I will try to arrange a January stay in the unheated Mohawk Cabin. Pretty certain I can work that out with Dean and Gail! Just imagine those snowy, frosty nights in that privy. Of course you will have plenty of "cold ones" if you just leave your beers sit on the porch!:D

Fish in? I can be in Spokane in about 7 hours if the pass is open. You can start driving from there and we can trade off after that.

Hey guys...pick Steve up, come to Canton, visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame with me, fish for big Ohio 'gills with the ol' Tuber, then I'll load fellow butt kicker Steve in the Jeep & we'll go show Eric what abuse IS!!! (then we'll outfish him!!). :twisted:
Keep in mind, this needs to be a warm weather trip, although if we make it late April or early May & we can fish for BOTH big pond 'gills & river steelhead (ask bluegill222, he can vouch for that!).

Can't speak to trout stocked in the lake, but I can speak about the rod, or one similar.

I have a 9' 5wt Cabela's Traditional rod (the original series like this one). I bought it for a back up to take with my son and I on fishing trips in case one of our rods ran into an untimely demise out somewhere.

After a year or so, I decided to put a reel on it and give it a try.

Long story short, this is one of my favorite rods to fish. I like it just about as well as my Scott G2 9' 5wt.

The Cabela's Traditional 9' 5wt has become my boat rod. It's the one I use on my pontoon and I do really like it on lakes and still water.

Anyway, it's a lot better rod than the price would suggest.

Will that Lake Erie trip be before or after swinging thru Tennessee?
Are you bringing Cary & Miss Betty with you. <hiding a strategic reserve of Cheez-Its>

Sure I did. You asked what would be a fair price. I cannot imagine paying more than $50-75 for a used rig as described, so Swen was on the low end but in the ballpark. There's no instrinsic value to the rod, reel, or line that would demand a premium. There's always a tendency to overvalue used items, so if you want to charge more go for it...you just might not be able to move it too quickly, considering how much used equipment there is out there these days. Luck.

Whatfly I think what Eric wanted you to see is that I was offering to take HIS 50$ for the rod. Not give him $50. :)

Aren't you catch more flies with sugar (i.e. fudge) than vinegar (i.e. boots)?

Hey Mike just a little over a mile from the Iron Bridge Inn that we ate at is this place:

http://www.gowaterfalling.com/waterf...ingfield.shtml

Are you ready to do some shopping, eat at the Inn and visit the falls?

In case you need reminded of where we ate:

http://www.springfields.com/ibi_files/ironbridge.html

Folks a great trout fishery called Neshannock Creek flows along the property line of that restaurant. If you are looking for bargains The Prime Outlets Mall of Grove City is just minutes away. Remember that Pennsylvania does not tax clothes, unprepared foods and the necessary items of life.

Just minutes from this pace too:

So when do we do this?
