Title: Looking for Used 8'6" - 9' Baitcasting Rod
Post by: kindalonismo on August 19, 2012, 09:54:29 PM

Hi guys,

As the title says, looking for a used 8'6"-9'0 M for this small Shimano Calcutta 200 hundred that I have.  The rod is primarily used by friends when we are river fishing.  The used rod I got with the reel is coming apart at the reel seat and cracking, so just looking for a decent low buck replacement.  Before anyone comments, I know you get what you pay for, but my MH 10'6" back up rod will just be too big for the reel.

Thanks for looking!

I have an 8'6 rainshadow custom xst 1025F baitcaster rod for sale.  3 seasons old.  Built this rod for toss spinner mainly but also drift roe and caught some spring with it.  Asking $150.

I did not do this, it is done by a rod builder I know in USA.  Below photo shows the lower half.  Rod was built with light weight in mind.  EVA is used instead of cork, and top grip is also served as reel lock.

Hi Charles, thanks for the offer. The rod looks like a beauty

Unfortunately, I think I'm looking to spend at least half of that for a rod, its just going to be a backup or for friends to use.

Thanks again

Hi there my friend. Sorry for getting back to you this late. I live in Coquitlam but can meet up with you all around LML. The lowest I'd part it with is $70. Rod hasn't seen much water. Let me know if you accept the price please. Thank you
