took a chance on USA REELS

Post by orourke »

I know how well regarded the above noted seller is on this board. She had a Bronson Green Hornet narrow spool model 2200n with the wrong handle, albeit a bronson handle. It was paired up with 6 scrimshaw knives and an eagle knife. I won the lot for 25.00. Got it today and the reel was worth the price alone. The knives are plastic and metal made in China. She even threw in a new crank bait along with a little picture of her in her halter. My wife wasn't impressed. But I am happy with the deal. Her picture went in the trash.

I almost feel fruit photos coming on again... :wink:
Going to be pretty busy the next few weeks with the Spring Fishing Classic (everyone is invited if you are by San Antonio the 16,17, & 18)...
But I will try and do some more creative photos soon... I know Ron enjoyed them.
