I've seen a few of these cradle reel seats but never one for a 49 before. I wonder what size counter would be needed to fit.
The gimbal looks like a Varmac model.

It is indeed cool, but thus far he's gotten no bites... I think this is the third re-list. Hope he scores this time around!

I had bid up to $99 but didn't go higher...we'll see what happens. I also like the cradle on its own in his other auction...slipping transmission in the car has put a hold on my spending... #ihatecars

Does that mean you got it?

Haha, great deal. The other NOS Nep-tuna handle w/o the reel or butt section went for over $100 as well. Someday I'll grab one.

Let me know when you are ready Dan. I have complete Neptuna rods with cradle seats for the Jigmaster, 140, 146 and 6/0 that I would love to sell.

Bryan Young · April 30, 2015, 04:34:23 PM

Randy, I though you were fishing with those rods.

I have fished with a Jigmaster 500 Neptuna rig, that I built myself from a empty cradle, for many years. I love it and the conversation it causes on the Party Boats. Scratches give the rig character.

BTW, the Wantagh Wabbegong would be me and I have been snabbling Neptunas all week.

Those Aussie nicknames are hilarious.

I won three Neptuna rigs this week, the Left Hand 49, the naked cradle and one of the Penn 6/O's. They were all interesting pieces that I was surprised to win. In the last few months, Neptunas have been selling at high prices, I actually did not expect to win these. I guess Dan the Car Hater's slipping transmission helped me out.

If anyone has a clean Penn International 30 for sale, I would be interested. The old single speed type with the separate stand and chrome cross bars would be perfect.
