This was the last batch of solid ones, before they sent production overseas.

I stashed it behind the cheap new 33s. it's about $29, but I think it's well worth the price.

Post to the thread if you're going for it... don't wanna disappoint anyone.

Oh the good old days of production quality. I'm sad to see them go.

I was talking to a sales rep at Bass Pro about this. Gone are the days of spare spools and reel grease being included in the package.

No spare spool in package = more chance somebody will buy 2 reels, IMHO.

Also, graphite rods... brittle... therefore more rod sales .

Just some points to ponder .

If you can't get it, you can wait for Abu Garcia Specialist Spinning Combo on special at Canadian Tire.

The sale price is just $29.99. I am so glad that I got one last month. It is a good medium action 6-ft 6-in rod with IM8 and 8 BB reel. I spooled the PowerPro Super 8 Slick 20 lb braided line on it. With only 6 lb mono liked diameter, this line cast like a bullet.
