Tackle Clearance Sale Friday & Saturday

[foakes]

The utility trailer was full of construction scraps, cardboard, plastics, metals, and excess junk.

Added (3) 40 gallon barrels of old reel parts, old reels, broken rods, and fishing stuff I'll never miss.

Emptied it yesterday over at the dump an hour away in Northfork.

Now it will be easier to haul everything down to a sale this weekend.

Supposed to be hot at 1500'.  So I'll bring a couple of ice chests with water and drinks for folks.

Hope to get rid of a few pieces.

Friday and Saturday.

Picked up a dozen extra rods and ultralite reels to make combos with —- Daiwa 500C's, Mini-Mite Golds, Mitchell 308's, Shimanos, Garcia's, DAM Quick Microlites, Fenwick, Conolon, Wright-McGill, Shimano's, and a lot more.

Lots of boxed reels.

Lots of tackle boxes & lots of lures.

Folks seem to like quality matched combos.

Not everyone buys these things from me —- unless they know quality gear from the new junk.  But being the only game on the mountain —- and in a strategic location —- lots of knowledgeable folks drop by.

We'll see how it goes...

Best, Fred

I'd be a player on some Quick Microlites, while having to talk my oldest kid out of spending all his money on old Daiwas.

The Johnson 100 in green is as new.  Flawless operation, appears never fished.  $85.

Those are easy for me.  I assemble them out of all new parts for folks. Sold (2) 265 Microlites, a 110, and a 220 this week to (4) different members.

Lifetime equipment.

Best Regards, Fred

Best of luck with your sale this weekend, Fred,

Let us know if you ever take this on the road and head north

What you're doing, Fred, is really an extension of what alantani.com is all about--giving folks a chance to appreciate good quality fishing equipment and, in some instances, preserving the tools of angling history.

HOT, HOT, HOT!

Sale went well, I thought.

Didn't get down there until about 11:00 AM.

Nothing sold until around 1:00 PM.

A guy came walking by about 12:00 —- looked like he needed a meal more than me —- so handed him $20.   Waters & ice were $27.  So I was in the hole $47 until things picked up around 1:00.

Tomorrow I'll leave home at 07:00, to be set up by 08:00.  Then pack it up by mid-day —- around 1:00 PM.

All good, met some nice folks —- and my wallet is fatter.

Best, Fred
