Title: Fly rods and some small Simms Boots
Post by: BrookieHunter on May 17, 2018, 12:17:57 PM
I need to cut back on the fly rod inventory so I threw some rods and two pairs of really small Simms boots up on Craigslist. Anybody that is interested in any of the rods is more than welcome to come cast them, message me here or through Craigslist.  Also open to trades for full size 9mm as long it's not polymer frame.

The size 6 is a kids pair, my 11 year old wore them when he was 9.

The 7 Is and adult boot and after looking at simms website it looks like a USA 7 is a womens 8 or a mens 6.

A $1000 2wt? That's insane

I understand that a TM rod is worth $1k. But $1k for a rod that you never actually cast. (Small crick rod)

Good luck, sir.

Don't worry I've fished the hell out of that rod and it will cast like no 2WT I've ever cast before, but sure as hell didn't pay $1000 for it. I don't ever pay retail for a rod, but I'll buy any rod for less than it's worth to resale.
