Hi All,
You know when your wife says "Oh my god! Where are we going to store all of you fishing stuff!"?? (I know you've all been there.) So . . . I'm trying to improve my marriage by thinning the rod herd (wish me luck).
Here are my Ebay listings--if anyone on this board is interested please PM with an offer. Shipping is from Colorado. I'll ship the small stuff for free (for board members only), but I ask that you pay for the 2 piece rods.
Fly stuff
SOLD 9' 5wt Redington Redstart 2 piece: http://r.ebay.com/cBLTnC It's a POS, but it's great for kids or your clumsy work buddy who thinks fly rods are supposed to bend like Ugly Sticks (that's not to say it's tough, it's just disposable). This Redington casts in such a way that said work buddy will burn his limited edition blue ray of A River Runs Through It, permanently go back to worm and bobber, and never ask you to take him fly fishing again. From it's plastic reel seat, to it's sloppily-wrapped football finished guides, this thing is a classic example of early 90s "entry level". That being said, I'm sure someone here can put it to good use (like throwing it on the fire on Christmas Eve so it makes pretty colors OR testing the torque on your ceiling fan). Feel free to chime in with other creative uses. (Seriously, I'll take $15 plus shipping just to get it out of my garage.)
9' 9WT Echo 4 piece: http://r.ebay.com/5esEY7 I actually like this rod, but I don't use it now and will probably never use it again. I'd like it to go to a good home. Remember: Orphaned Echos make Tim Rajeff sad.

(Don't make Tim Rajeff sad; buy my Echo.)
Surf Stuff (I'm livin' the dream in the Rockies, and I no longer have use for surf gear)
SOLD Penn Spinning Reel: http://r.ebay.com/O0M8uW For the money: pretty freakin' awesome. It casts, it lands fish, it's made in China.
SOLD Daiwa Emblem 10 ft Surf Spin Rod (2 piece, 15-30lb line, MH power): http://r.ebay.com/LFpeJC I had some good times on Ocean Beach with this thing. Another rod I'd like to go to a good home.
SOLD Shimano Bluewave Surf Bag w/random assorted jigs and plugs: http://r.ebay.com/aWgizM This thing is pretty cool. I wish I could find a fly bag that's designed this well. Of course, if I DID find a fly bag designed that well I'd probably wear it everywhere and pose in such a way that lets everyone know what a well designed fly bag I have. And when someone compliments me on my "awesome fanny pack" I'd have to painfully explain to them that my "fanny pack" is actually the worlds best fly fishing bag which is why I'm wearing it in line at Walgreens (duh!)

That's it for now. I'm here if you have any questions.
Thanks!
