Looking to part with a very nice LA Battenkill V and extra spool to buy a new spinning rod.

Barely used and never near saltwater. A few minor scuffs and otherwise perfect condition. These are the nicer "Made in England" reels/spools not the cheaper China stuff. These are hard to find as collectors are hanging on to them. Backed by Orvis "anytime 100% satisfaction guarantee". Current pricing for this set up is $378.
These are $225
Posted on craigslist also.
I'll be in Falmouth this Friday and Saturday

Haven't been overly impressed with Fenwick fly rods even though they have some nice ones, but maybe the spinning rods are in the same class as GLoomis; which make very good fly rods. For most inshore: just Shimano rods having lifetime replacement paired with Shimano reels & offshore mostly Penn because other rods are not as easy to replace
