The seller said these were unused and in mint condition, and there is not a blemish on them. Its like they just came out of the box from the manufacturer! They are really too nice to fish with...but I will. ;D He also said they were a matching set and they are except the spools. One is steel and one is aluminum. I can use either/or so I will go to the WTB on this forum and see if I can find a pristine match. Anyway VERY pleased with the purchase and the price was decent for what I got!!!

I will email the seller tomorrow and thank him. I will tear them down, clean them, lube them and see if I can find a replacement spool...then spool them up and go fishin'.
