WTB: Older Style Penn Slammer Rod

[Bucktail]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for an older model Penn Slammer rod (the white one).  Specifically, I need a conventional model, either 6'6" or 7', and rated for around 20-40 lb. line.  Foam grips only.  No stand up models with the slick butt and no roller guides. 

I want to pair it up with an older Jigmaster 500.

If you have one you want to sell, I'll pay anywhere from $20 to $40 depending on the condition.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, I  think I might actually have on the boat. I'll check next time I'm there.

Sounds good.

I'll check the trail station flea market guy for you

Don't you have enough rods? 

[Reefsquatter]

I think I have one in the garage here in Lanoka harbor, is this for bunker spoons?

[Bucktail]

No.  I'm pairing it up with an old Jigmaster.  Mostly for nostalgia.  But it will also see use on party boats that don't allow braid.

Good idea Bob.  I have a Jigmaster 500s that my dad bought me in Herman's sporting goods in 1979.
I still use it and like the quick change function for the spool. I can spool up my extra spool with mono for the party boats.

Silly Question asked by a fellow fisherman. Starting to sound like my wife.

Herman's...haven't heard that name in years !

Don't you have enough rods? 

I think there is a mathematical formula for fishing equipment = N + 1 ...N is what you have and the + 1 is what you always need!!

Remember their slogan?  Herman's, We Are Sports!

Which was changed to Herman's, We Were Sports!

Bump

Am I going to have to start hitting the garage sales? 

[fellinger]

Nope, I was wrong. I don't have one..

[Bucktail]

Thanks for looking Fred.

I'm going to suspend my search for now, unless I can find them cheap.  I stumbled upon a couple of new Tsunami 5 Star rods, which I picked up for $20 each.  They are not fancy, but they have pretty decent action and they'll work for what I need them for.

Bob I have the white Penn Slammer but in Spinning model, I used them up in NY for fishing for Salmon on the wall on the Oswego River.
