Title: Garage sale find
Post by: saltydog on June 28, 2013, 10:56:55 PM
Just found this 500 at a garage sale for 5 bucks and when I got it home I couldn't believe my eyes.

Newell bars, seat, spool, and a 4:1 Newell gear set.

Changed out drags to carbon fiber and added a ss gear sleeve and dropped it on my 10' Fenwick with 30# mono.

The next thing is to double dog and maybe a 5+1 instead of the 3+1
