Not a 12 but,
Got a very nice Loomis Crosscurrent GLX 4 pc 11wt with sock and tube.
Couple reels that could go with it also.

It is a real Charlton and not the later Mako version so I think that is the right price.

Carl,

I've got a 12wt. Abel fly rod that was sold to me by Steve Abel himself.

It comes with the original padded travel case and sock. Condition is like new. It is a three piece though if that makes any difference.

$450.00 firm

Thanks Mark, I'll get right on that :)

I have a friend who has not one but two Charlton reels. Almost never touched by human hands, except for my drool.

Rich,
How much for the rod. I used to have the whole group of Crosscurrent GLX series but got rid of them after 5 years of use. Now I'm looking at a few on some websites. I like the CrossCurrent GLX series
Where in Hollister do you live

Don’t actually know what a fair price is???
Got 2 12 wt Galvan rush lt reels. And a TFO 425 if those are heavy duty enough for you.

I live in Hidden Valley in Hollister.
PM me if you are interested in any of that stuff.

Hey Carl,
I sent you an email. I have a bunch of bigger Abels looking for a new home.

[Carl Blackledge]

flyguy..how much for those 4n abels?

[Jay Murakoshi]

Rich,
I have the T-12 galvan and the TFO425 and 375 Terry Hayden Reels. Yes, they are heavy. Could use them for a float tube anchor.
I use to work out of the Hollister PG&E yard. I also worked in Monterey, Salinas.
Let me know what your "fair price" is. I really don't need another rod, but will take if off your hands for a fair price

Jay, from what I can gather on some auction sites and used fly gear sites it looks like $400 and up is about where they are being sold.
If that is in your fair price range let me know.
