love that emerald green color, and great back story. I seem to accumulate 888's and 808's, because that's what my grandma used on the pier when they took me to the beach in the early 70's, and began the love of the sea..


I was in a pawn shop the other week, and the lady wanted $75 for Penn Slammer standup rod that needed a tip. I told her the rod cost that when it was new 20 years ago...she said but "it's an antique!" I said "no, it's a 20 year old rod that needs repair." So we settled on $45. :)

I seem to be breeding 9/0's lately and it has the black and silver graphic, so I bit.

Like I said, before, it is a nice looking reel.  Dollar-wise=not much; memories-wise=priceless.
