Hello everyone,
I am newly registered to the website; however, I have been here several times in the past.
I have just a couple of small questions for everyone, if you don't mind!
I have recently come into possession of my grandfather's fishing equipment. I recognize everything he has, and tossed all that no longer works. I have run across a rod/reel that I am not familiar with, though.
The rod is a Cabela's Tourney Trail IM7 5'6" casting rod, 10-20lb line weight, 3/8 - 3/4 lure weight. It is an INCREDIBLY stout rod. It seems like it is an older model since Cabela's no longer carries a rod of these specs. Can anyone give any information on this rod?
The reel is:
Shimano Bantam
B-Mag 2000II
2-Speed 5.2:1 and 3.8:1
2 Ball Bearing
Magnetic Control
What I want to know is: Is this reel worth hanging on to? Reel technology changes every year, and this reel seems old. Second, is the rod/reel setup a good pairing? Lastly, does anyone know what this reel would have retailed for?
I appreciate any help from whoever can!
-Carl
