Title: a unique 980
Post by: Alto Mare on January 22, 2019, 12:01:37 AM
Here is something you don't see everyday. I know only of two guys having these, me of course and another member here.

Can anyone tell? I hope the other member doesn't spoil it. :)

Good guess Sheridan, but no. Let me know if you guys need help on guessing what makes this 980 the most unique reel you have ever seen. :)

No Mike, these were never released, that's why I asked if you've ever seen one.
