Hi Tyke,
No it wasn't. We talked about it but he wanted too much for his. :chuckle:
Got it from another gentlemen in the UK. Mine has the black (not gold) reel seat.
Cheers,
Preston
Arh, he was including both the floating & intermediate (I believe Rio later re-classified these as a sink 2) Accelerators in #10/11 with it, the inty/ sinker is a beauty, these were damn expensive in the UK when they came over & went thru' manufacturers, importers, wholesaler's & retailers profit margins! I think these were the first £50.00+ lines I ever bought!
Good lines though, I still use mine now & again (& also have an #8/9 for light line work). There is also a multi - tip version (I have one of those as well - told you I was sold on these back then!) they go really well on the 16 ft # 9/10 Powerlite or Norway Speycasters; they are also heavy enough to work on my 16 #11 wt Powerlite - so hopefully you'll find a good 'un & enjoy it.
Regards, Tyke.
