Always had a twinkle in my eye for a cradle reel setup, and finally scratched the itch.
It's 1970's era with a 50 international. The seller said it was unused and I would have to agree with that assessment.
I know zilch about this setup, so I contacted Randy Pauly and he said it was built at Anglers center in Newport Beach. The seller was clueless about it's origins. Thanks to Randy for his insight. Now I at least know something about this combo
Couple more pics
wow!!!!
Nice!!
If I was not trying to thin the herd I would want one for a 349.
Nice looking cradle Ted !! A lot of Nep-Tuna's had Silaflex rods built by Anglers Center. Nice clean score !!
Beautiful score. Congrats!
Looks like its never been out of the box. what a fantastic score. :d
Seriously wow!
We have a movie in this part of the world called The Castle, which captures moments like this perfectly:

Not a rude question Donny, but if you must know, I'll just say, it cost an arm and a leg, but I still have 1 leg to stand on, so all is good !
Pretty snazzy, Ted! Almost to pretty to use, beautiful combo!
Ted as I said when you texted me the pictures that is out of sight. Too pretty to fish ........................ almost.
