These were, relatively speaking, high-end spincast rods, 6 feet, fiberglass, fast taper. They had a unique reel seat - spring loaded, activated by pushing the trigger (or finger rest) forward to release tension on the spring, then releasing the trigger to lock the reel in the seat. These originally sold for $15.95, but went on sale for $8.00, and finally for a final clearance price of $4.00. We bought at least 1/2 dozen of them, including a few for our friends.NObshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500828672172051244noreply@blogger.com
