Allstar 1088(9ft/spinning) wrapped by Back Beach. fuji guides, cork fore grip. i only used this rod for about one full season. it needs new new cork tape on the butt but only has only a few minor scratches. this is a great plugging rod for lures up 3.5oz. also a sweet slug-go stick. this a highly sought after rod that is no longer made. sorry the pics aren't great

$150 will meet within reasonable distance of franklin. no PP so money order, cash or checks is preferred. thanks..

I hope you intend to use the money to purchase a new ironing board cover?

I love my allstar 1088. If I wasnt getting some allstars 1209s I would be all over this.

Braid friendly or a mono rod?

Thanks,

It's just so wrong on so many levels...

I wish somebody would buy this rod so I don't have to.

braid-friendly if fishing plugs(which is really what this rod is meant to do), if throwing eels you'd be better off with mono. i have the larger guides on it for both applications..

Hey Bart,

How tough is it to get that cork tape fixed. Never repaired something like that before.

Thanks,

Billy

I think that would be a very simple task for any rod builder.

like spence said its very simple and wouldn't cost anymore than 20 bucks i'm guessing...

Don't bother. Get some 1.5" heat shrink tubing and put in on right over the tape. Makes it slide between the legs nice and slick like.

If you like the tape it is very easy to fix yourself.

This is SO tempting!
