The closet cleaning continues...Two SPINNING rods and a top.

1) Ron Arra 1204 Surf Rod. Wrapped by CMS in New Bedford, MA.

This is the old 1204 now called the 1203. 10' Medium-fast action with a super nice response. Rated 7/8-2-1/2 ounces. This is a great early season rod (i.e. RIGHT NOW) for throwing smaller rubber, tins, plugs and eels.

Lightly used and the condition is really excellent. Only a few light marks on the blank. Fuji guides (50mm collector and a 16mm tip) and seat. Really nice wrap. 23-1/2" from butt to center of seat.

$200 local pickup.

Next is a cannon of a rod I had made up by a local builder. Lamiglas GSB 1321 L, with 4" cut off the tip to stiffen the action and increase the lure size. ~10'8" in length. 24" from butt to center of seat. All black wraps with a blond mermaid.

I also had a nice cork grip installed ahead of the seat which provides a firm purchase when working bigger lures. Fuji guides (50mm collector and 16mm Alconite tip) and seat.

I'd rate this with a sweet spot of 2-4 ounces. It will toss a 3 ounce needle a long way. Great for big plugs and heavy surf.

Condition is good, never abused but the rod shows some wear on the surface although nothing deep. $145. Local pickup.

It's the rod on the right in the post above.

Last is an Aquaskinz Rampage dry top. Size XL. This is the heavier neoprene top with the zip off hood. Fit's a 44-46 jacket size.

This thing will keep you dry and warm under just about any conditions. Condition is like new. I think it was only used a few times and I can't find a mark on it...$95 Local pickup or will ship for actual cost.

thanks,
