Trade 1 OAK 9/10-0 All Aluminum A.J.STEAD for something interesting!

Post by Nick in NY »

I’d prefer a trade rather than a sale...BUT if I had to put a dollar amount I would not consider anything less than $5,000. My hand made A.J.Stead is (so far) the only known all aluminum version, I’m now offering for a something interesting trade in the way of big game or larger Holzman reel meaning with a 4” or larger side plates. I’ve had all the Hardy Fortuna reels including a narrow 9” with brake. Today wish I still had it... Would consider it for a partial trade on figure an 8 1/2” Zan Grey then I’d add cash...would consider a very good example of an Australian Atalanta regardless of size...would consider a mother of pearl side plate Holzman reel or even a #11 hard rubber Meek in unpolished condition....just putting it out there...food for thought during these days...Tight Lines Nick n NY

I’m also in need of a 12-0 Zwarg, I’ll add $4,000 to complete the deal or a possible straight up trade for a 12-0 micarta Kovalovsky in at least very good* original condition. If I can send photos of my reel to someone to post I’d be deeply appreciated. Thanks Nick n NY

Thanks John...always a gentleman! I note the reel as either a size 9-0 or 10-0. The side plates measure about 5 5/16” with a spool width of about 3 3/8”...the overall width from front/back plate is about 4 13/16” ...it’s signed/stamped on the end of the counter weight on the handle (believe it’s nickel) and center oil access port. If any questions or additional photos please ask. Thanks Nick n NY
