One of the guys on a local forum listed some rods for sale. He named several brands among which was Gloomis. I happen to be a Gloomis fan. I called him up and asked about bait casting and he had 2.
He lives about 50 miles away so I drove down yesterday afternoon and bought them. I gave $100 a piece for them. They are GLX MBR 844c and GLX BCFR 863c. Happy birthday to me.
They needed a good cleaning. I scrubbed them with Totally Awesome. Today I will be putting shrink tubing on the handles and mounting a couple of Shimano E7 reels on them. Look out green fish.
