Brand New, no flaws.

I may try the retailer route... if I lived within a tank of diesel's drive to one. One problem with living on a river a ways from civilization...you have to make a long list of to-do's when you make the monthly trip to 'the place with lights, cars, and people'...

As you said though, its worth a shot. I'd really like to fish the dang thing, it feels great, heck of a freespool, sits good on my 9' cert pro... dang left-handedness.

I'd trade for $$ too, for purchase of lefty...
