A friend of mine has one, if you ever decide to get rid of it hit me up!

Awesome, I (like many here) haven't seen one either! Do you use it? What pound braid are you running? Thanks for sharing.

Simply "WOW".

Look at its condition and state! Surely a collectors piece???

Hi Guys
Dan, that is pe4 Sunline braid, but in the 4-5 years that I have had it, I have never used it. The only thing non stock on it is a bearing that I replaced where there was a bushing. I, of course kept the bushing.

Hi Slazmo
This is my Mark 2 (just a bit wider)
I had to make a handle for it. Was from an early TLD 15/30. About an hour with some fine diamond files. Yes, the Mark 2 sleeve was wider than the 15/30 sleeve.

Hi Basto,
Can the posts for the rod clamp come off or are they permanent?

Cheers,
Ruffy

They are forever posts. Not made to be removed. I had the posts removed from my reel. Wish I didn't do it.
