Wewlad Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I am fortunate to have come across a very rare Shimano reel and I've had it for almost a year. Excellent condition. This is a Shimano Bantam Beastmaster BBM-VR. This apparently was Shimano's Top of the line reel during the 80s. Two speeds, 6:1 and 4:1. Notoriously, they had some issues changing smoothly between gear ratios. messing with the handle enough gets you aligned and geared up. If you'd want to make this fishable, I would suggest replacing some silicone parts that deteriorate over time. $150 shipped, open to offers and trades. 1
KDW96 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Nice old reel But youll need to put a price on it,or youll get a spankin
Wewlad Posted March 12, 2017 Author Posted March 12, 2017 Woah is right, You don't see these often. They've sold on ebay in this condition anywhere from $150-$315. I am not a collector, so someone else would appreciate this more than I do. This will help fund the purchase of a MajorCraft Mebaru Rod i've had my eyes on for a while.
