$65, James.

Let me know, I will be shipping today.

No payment until after you receive the reel.

These tiny Mini-Mites have ball bearings, all metal, skirted metal spools, gold in color, and a spring-loaded handle that is unique and works well.  I have personally landed 5 and 6 pound Rainbows with this reel over in the Eastern Sierras along with a 6' Fenwick rod.  And it fits in the palm of your hand.  Little powerhouses that are attractive as well as capable.

I think the first one I used was in 1980.  These might have been introduced in '78.  Japanese engineering.

Just a big Thank You to 6 members who picked up (10) reels out of this group.

Packed and ready to go down to the Post Office at 3:00 PM.

Glad these are going to our OHANA.

It is a big help to get rid of these.

Many of these reels are unusual, desirable, and will all be at prices about 30% below the market.

Here are (10) more I am tossing on the bench.

Shakespeare 2065 SpinWonder
Zebco SurfLite 860
Rogue 150
Centaure, bull-horn half bail
Shimano Custom X-3000 Quick-Fire
Langley Spindrift 860A in Maroon
Penn Seaford, very old, fresh service, works as new, waffle
Mitchell CAP, half bail, pillar spool, metal crank knob
Airex Larchmont
Ru-Pacific, half bail, large Surf Reel

All work well, and some are very rare.

Best, Fred

That Rogue 150 would be a cool acquisition but I sure it'll be well above my retired fixed income price range.  :-\
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Heck, Part B monthly premium increase, Part B deductible increase, Supplement monthly premium increase & part D deductible increase added together almost tripled the measly 2.5% COLA increase, and that doesn't even take into consideration the regular ongoing & rising inflation.  :(  ::)  :-X

No worries, Tom —-

A couple of our members of questionable standing are sending you this Rogue 150 reel.

You should receive it Friday or Saturday.

Our Ohana is strong —- and we have some very good folks on our site.  And they do not want to be identified or recognized.

N/C on anything.

Thanks for being a good, knowledgeable member.

We have the best, most unselfish, and honest folks found anywhere in the world, on Alan's site.

Best, Fred

The ohana at its best.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Holy Smokes! 😮 I don't feel deserving of such a wonderful gesture and gift. You guys are amazing human beings!  :al

I've been keeping my eyes open for one of those I felt I could afford for nearly 20 years! Every time I would think I was getting close someone would drive the price up out of reason. 🫤  The kindness of the Ohana never ceases to amaze me!  8)  I owe y'all big time! :d

Thank you! 👏

I'll be glad to check —- might be a day or two because of company coming up.

Not sure on the GT part?

Would you please send me a photo?

That Rogue reel should be made today.  The materials, features, and quality are all top shelf —- and manufactured by hand by angler/machinists who fished primarily the Pacific Northwest for Salmon, Steelhead, and Trout.

I know that Tom will go through it professionally, and give us a great report on it.

No better person to get this reel.
