Steelhead
Was a Mitchell 300 kid. That, a Reeder Rod (one piece) and a Mepps spinner caught many steelhead.
Great Garage sale scores
- Thread starter Tuna Ball
- Start date
In celebration of Garage sale season I have this $5 Loomis to add to the collection. I had her call her husband to make sure it wasn't his special rod. This wasn't it so they said how about $5. I did not haggle....
Also picked up a Minn Kota Endura C2 30lb for $20

Life of the Party
Garage sales can become addictive..
Been a long while since adding to this thread. Found some great deals since.
Today, I went back to a sale that had a Shimano Tyrnos 20 two speed for sale asking $200. I was going to make him an offer. He had sold it yesterday he said for $100. I said I was considering offering that but didn't want to insult him. He mentioned some guys bought $1k worth of Loomis rods and rigs from inside his garage. I asked if he had other rigs in there he would sell, and I was in. I spotted two right off I wanted. I brought them to him and asked what he wanted. He said he wouldn't take less than $100 each. I had some other tackle in hand and asked if they were included in the price. Sure, and we made a deal. We talked fishing for a while and shared stories. I could tell he was beyond his saltwater fishing days.
I left with a old school Tekota LC 500 with Buzz Ramsey rod and the bigger score, Shimano Trinidad 14 on Trevala combo. Both in great shape, just dusty. He said Tekota was only used once. It looks that way too.
Now to sell one of the newer Tekota LC to pay for most of the score.
