Would you be interested in a centrepin rod built by Norm. Its an unkown black blank and in excellent condition.

I have a 4-inch that I purchased back in 1992. It has the silent retrieve and outgoing clicker. I used it for a few seasons, but for the most part its been collecting dust. I thought about selling it the last couple of years, but that sentimental thing keeps me from posting it. Back when Norm was still around making them, I was on a waiting list for almost 2 years until I finally got one from Brian Babcock's shop. It was stolen one season later. My buddy had one and brought it to Norm to for a handle repair. I tagged along so that I could meet the "man" behind the amazing reel. He was an amazing machinist when it came to these reels. He talked to us for hours. We missed a couple of return ferries, but it was fun listening to him. Towards the end, he asked if I had one of his reels? It took me a while to clear the lump from my throat to reply. But before I could, he pulled one out from a Crown Royal bag and sold it to me. I am tossed between keeping the reel or selling it to someone that really wants one. The reel is currently up in Haida Gwaii. I will be down in Vancouver this September. If you are still looking for one try looking me up.

Cheers

It depends on the reel. In the past I have always been able to make the seller happy.

Wow that is the first time i've heard them called that but you are probably right, hopefully your knowledge of the reels will make the price come down.

Sorry to break you the bad news but the value will only climb! The people that have them usually do not want to part with them.  8) I know that I don't.  ;D
