Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local garage sales are best to avoid high shipping costs relative to the item's value. eBay is an option but shipping a long rod is often cost-prohibitive.
Selling Tips
Clean the reel with a damp cloth to remove dust. If the line is old and curly, remove it so the buyer can see a clean spool. List it locally for $15 'as-is' for a quick flip.
