Del 245 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 picked up a couple new rods from an old fella dying of cancer. he also chucked in a "small" box of hooks which contained about 1000-1500 hooks from size 6 up to 8/0 but mostly in 3/0 40/5/0 sizes and 4 big halco twister salmon lures.. for an exrtra few bucks..the golden red one ill keep, but gave softy the Black one as his first Alvey rod. now to get him an alvey and into something to make that ratchet SCREAM!!!Rods are hand built on Wilson 4120 blanks, 4 wrap, means nice and light with a fair bit of whip, 120 means inches long. with reel seats and spikes both rods sit in the 11'* bracket. perfect for casting baits on a Alvey 650C for salmon snapper or mulloway. and the occasional shark that comes by.. urhookedfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
