 Someone on ebay just listed what they claim to be the 16/0 rod and reel from the Jaws movie for $12 grand. Is it real, or is it an imposter ??

 I have no clue how to share a link, so maybe someone could post it here

It's patently absurd, anyway. A rod like that (I had several in lower weight-class) would always have a heavyweight Penn International or Fin-Nor mounted.

He will NOT pass Go, will not get twelve thousand dollars. but may be lucky enough to escape the men in the white coats.  ;D

Yes Keith, I remember selling it to you couple years ago. I'm your guy if you ever decide to part ways with that combo

He says it is LIKE the one in the movie but on a different color rod.

I hope he gets it. That means someone might give enough for my collection that I can retire.

With inflation the way it is —- maybe that price is too low!

There are some weird ideas on eBay.

But you got to hand it to him —- he is fishing on dry ground for a buyer.

If I sold everything in my fishing parts for what I told my wife I think it is worth —- we would be retired tackle Oligarchs.

If I sold it for what I know it is worth —- well, we would be happy and just exactly where we are now.

This guy is way too slippery and very mis-leading in his description.

Not even close. Just about everything he says in his description is wrong.

Man, i got a fork just like the one that they ate with in jaws. Not the same fork, this one's never even been to Hollywood. but it's just like it.

Hey Henry —-

Thinking a 16/0 with a Fenwick 130 rod could be bought for $200 —- is the same as thinking it is worth $12,000.

I've seen people fish for Suckers w/ rather stout Catfish rod/reel...  but, never a 16/0+130# Fen
