JK Fishers were considered to be one of the best blanks going, but no longer produced. Every once in a while they show up in the BST's at the Other Site and they go for a tidy sum from guys who know the name

Trigger reel seat, cork tape butt and very light weight, rated at 2-5 oz, if you're looking to throw boat size eels. Not stiff at all

If you're interested let me know - otherwise, I'm not exactly tripping over myself trying to get rid of it -

I'd planned to keep it as a back-up for it's twin but the 120 1m sounded like it might be worth looking at

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
