WeRunCities Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 So, I have here a Shimano Spheros 12000FA. Its spooled with 40# PP with a small Mono backing. The only reason I am selling/Trading is that I have a few more reels, and not enough Plugs Cosmetically, it is a bit banged up from being layed on Jetties, but mechanically, it is a 9/10 -10/10. Can't really find a flaw with the way it works, just as smooth as when it was taken from the box. I am Looking to sell for $100 or more preferably, trade for Plugs. An RMs would catch my eye I will have pics up tommorow, once i pick up batteries for my camera at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley K Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 What size is this comparable to in other reel models? For example, Van Staal or Penn? Would it be too big for a 9 footer? I'm interested and have some plugs I could trade like BM's and RM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley K Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 What size rod did you have it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeRunCities Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 What size rod did you have it on? 9ft Tica TC2. It has weight to it, but I haven't noticed a big difference going from this 12000 to an 8000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley K Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sorry, at 28.4 oz its a little to heavy for my needs. If this was a 6000 size series reel, I woulda made the trade quite quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeRunCities Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Bump. Would also consider a nice Pair of Waders, or another reel, or anything really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythosbeer Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think we can work something out with cash or trade. I want to see the condition of it first though. I will wait for pics. I have some plugs, waders, and other reels that I can trade so I am sure we can work something out if the physical condition is not too bad.
