Every once in a while something unexpected comes along that makes your heart skip a beat. My heart skipped many beats when a saw this combo. She arrived today. I will let you guys figure out what the surprise is! 😝

Nice Chris, just like the one on Jaws.
I have two of the same in new condition, but mine are 80's.
I sold the 130 a while back.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I didn't do anything special before the picture other than wipe the dust off.

That rig would have stopped me dead in my tracks. A mint 1940's First gen 12/0 on a mint Jaws Rod. I cannot see the logic of putting those two classics together; but, I can relate the Heart Stopping moment. Congrats Chris on the Home Run find. Hope you did not have to sell your Ferrari to buy it. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Mike! No Ferrari's were involved. I just noticed I made a rookie mistake when reassembling it for the photo. The rod and reel shipped separately. I got so excited to take the pictures I forgot to install the rod clamp and brace!
