Yeah, I'm not sure of the advantage of a trade would be in this case, since the rod you have is THE most popular one Meiser makes, you probably could both sell it quickly and get a decent price, then find someone with the rod you want. I recently did a trade and it felt REALLY great, like I got something for free since I wasn't using the items. I assume the other person felt the same. But other than that I'm not seeing the advantage of trades. OTOH if you are not in a rush (always the best state to be in) then I'm sure something will come along eventually. Good Luck!
