Picked this rod up a few weeks ago from John. I think I paid $160? Its a custom M&M Rod, black on black with chrome guides and deckhand X grip. I had M&M put a gimlet butt on there so it would fit in a rocket launcher type rod holder, and also put new shrink wrap on the whole thing. That cost $28.
I'm starting to realize I prefer rods with reel seats over the deck grip so I'm selling this one to get a new Seeker. I have $188 into this rod.
I'll take $140 for a quick sale. I live in Pt Loma, but I'm at LJ at least 3 days a week so I can meet you there. Every guide on this rod is straight, and corrosion free. Its a perfect YoYo rod.
M&M told me it would have cost in the mid $200's to make this rod.
I'll sell it with a brand new in the box with clamp, never seen the water Daiwa Seagate 35H with 300yds of 65# Jerry Brown for $150 (Cost me $182 after tax and line)
