I have a Rainshadow SUR1204F two-piece spinner. Rated 3/4 - 4. Never seen water. $150 picked up in Duxbury or meet up within reason. I'll post some pics if you're interested.
I'm feeling pretty stupid. I saw the "pickup central Connecticut" and missed the "shipped" in the original post. To add insult to injury, then I write "Fair enough." Now, that's stupid. But I suppose a deal is a deal. And $69 does sound like a fair price -- $60 for the reel and $9 for the reading lesson.
Aside from the spool bearings, is everything else OK? No cracks in the frame? No corrosion? Drag is smooth? No missing, buggered, or cross-threaded screws? Etc., etc.
If the bearings are the only problem, then I'll take it.
