Moderators, move if wished. I bought this 80 a few months back for use as a wahoo meat reel: high speed trolling and planer. Finally got around to giving some love after i reclaimed my workbench; I decided to finish at least one project. Bad neglect, but a makeover, new clothes and a date has her ready to roll....

lots of rash and corrosion, and name dremeled into both plates :(

Guts, however, very good: brearings greased, someone installed carbon fiber drags at some point still in fantastic shape...Cal's and move on!!!!
