You can go back and edit your original post here and add/subtract any information you want. Classifieds are just a small part of this site, there is a ton of good information here and a lot of very experienced fisherman as well. Everyone from the occasional 1-2x a year guys, to weekend warriors, to active charter captains and tournament guys. There likely isn't a question you could ask that someone here wouldn't be able to answer or at the very least point you in the right direction.

You didn't misunderstand this site, you just started off on the wrong foot is all. If you can get more pictures, its always good to say that. What are the reels spooled with for line? If they happen to be full of copper line or braid that could help justify a higher than normal asking price. What length/power are the rods? What condition are the reels in cosmetically (usually a simple 1-10 scale is what ppl use). When you're paying big bucks for reels it will help if they are in good condition cosmetically as it shows you take good care of your gear. Also payment type (cash, check, venmo, paypal) and will you ship (is that cost included in your asking price?) or local pick up (if so where are you located or willing to meet)? It's easier to just post all that info in your ad because 99% of interested buyers are going to want to know all of the things I mentioned. It's unfortunate that ppl are initially skeptical and think potential scam, but it happens... alot and that's just the world we live in these days.

I don't think anyone was talking **** to you. There's alot of scams out there and many of us have been here long enough to spot the warning signs of a potential scam as we have seen our fair share on this forum. A new account whose first post is a for sale ad asking premium prices with little information throws up some red flags. You can ask whatever prices you want that's fine, but understand people will be skeptical because of the issues I mentioned. You could have gone about things differently if you wanted to be part of the community (ie. introduce yourself, give more details on your items, shipping/pickup, etc). Goodluck with your sale.

1 picture, missing item information, new account, asking price is same as new cost... there's a few red flags there. That's why you're getting flak from ppl just fyi.

Yeah, I wasn't interested in testing out different rubber band sizes to figure out what would hold up and not break due to wind, waves, etc. It would have been nice to have a WS setup that could have potentially covered multiple different depths, but instead I opted to just go the route of dedicated setups with braid backing. I also run a Sam's Pro releases on the front of my inline boards now and there's no way, even with rubbers to attach to that release and have it function properly.

I asked this question to the guys at torpedo directly a few years ago and this was the response I got. I wasn't comfortable with the rubber band idea, so I never actually tried it. I just run braid backing on my WS setups and attach the boards to the braid.

Price?

I'll take it, PM me your info

Both items have been shipped, I sent each of you tracking info via PM. I hear there have been issues with PMs so figured I’d post it here just in case.

Got it, will get back to you with tracking info once I ship

sounds good my paypal is

Only a weekend warrior here, we didn't have too many issues with the weather but was by far my worst year of fishing. We had more skunk days this year than the last 3 years combined.

Would consider trades for fishing gear... spoons, flashers, flies, etc
