I have a new Zebco 808 and a new reel seat that I would sell for $40, about the price of a new reel. You can pm me if interested. will even fill the reel with line if you need it.

We prefer spincast reels, but do use Retrievers for specific purposes and conditions.

I prefer those light plastic arrows with the suction cups, they stick right to a fish, but they don't leave and blood shot meat. Image
