I have a Guide Select float/centerpin rod, the 13' 6" IM-8 graphite, rated at 4-8 lb line with a lifetime warranty and rod bag. I used this rod one time one the Yakima last winter (or the year before) and caught one large O. mykiss (steelhead) and a few whitefish. I think I wrote a report about it on the main page. Anyway, I'm looking for something a little different so I'd like to sell this to someone who is interested.

Check out the pics, the cork still looks brand new. It is a 3-piece rod and has a hook keeper. I had a Ross Flow which balanced nicely with it but I'm keeping the reel.

The rod brand new retails for $160...I'm asking for $100.

I'm kinda interested, you only used it once?

Yep. I literally used it one time winter fishing the Yak, learned how to cast a line well enough after about 15 minutes, caught some fish, and never picked it up again. I had two spools, one filled with mono and the other with some yellow coated braid stuff. I used tried them both but can't even remember which one I liked better.

I've been fishing the same rod with the sliding rings for years. I love mine and really don't think you can beat it for the price. Very light, sensitive, great guides.....all other float/centerpin rods of similar length and lone rating are heavy, clunky, and have crappy guides.

Wish I had an extra $100 I would pick it up for my dad so he'll finally let me use mine for once this year

You shure you wana keep that ross flow? I got a loomis imx 1141 spinning rod in great shape and I'm looking to do some bartering or horse trading

I had planned on building a custom pin rod and keeping the Flow. I don't need another spinning rod but might be open to other things for trade.

Drifter101,

I thought long and hard about whether to get the sliding rings or an actual real seat. I don't remember now what convinced me to get the seat model, possibly the idea that some folks put tape on the rings to keep them from sliding. Is that a problem for you?

Ive never had them slide, not even once....going on at least 5 years now

Once the rings start to slide use bike tire rubes cut in small 2" chunks slid over each slideband

Str 1141s, g loomis imx spinning rod is already gone

Only once had my slide rings come loose. They were loose to begin with and I didn't check them. Kind of sinking feeling when your reels falls off. Glad it wasn't in the river. I am always checking them and haven't had a problem since. Once they're cinched up, they seem to stay just fine.

Bump to the top again as it is still for sale.

$100 and I'll cover the shipping.

Rod has been sold.
