Very nice pair. Teton Steelhead 7 weight fly reel with extra spool. The mounted spool has backing and fly line. I bought these for a fishing trip that didn't happen. The line has been added but these have never seen the stream. Happy bidding.

I Paypal'd the price within two hours of the bid closing and me "winning" the reel.
On 4 January, I received the following message from the seller:
"
Dear epkelleher,
Hello: Thank you very much for your winning bid and payment. I have just completed my Holiday travels and I will begin shipping tomorrow (1/4/2011). Your item will be among the first that I ship.
Thank you for your patience and I hope that you had a very good Christmas and New Years...

I have sent three messages through E Bay to the seller, and have received neither a response nor the item.
It is now 25 Jan 2011, three weeks after earlier estimated delivery date. Priority mail is NOT that slow.
I have opened a Complaint and request for refund through E Bay.
Caveat Emptor.
