Rod, Waders, ENO Bugnet For Sale/Trade

**Curt** · 03-21-2011, 10:21

Three items up for sale. Paypal works, but I'm also looking for a couple items I'd barter for. See below.

SOLD ENO Guardian Bug Net: $35 includes shipping
- Basically new. Used one trip and gently. Never dragged around in the dirt or anything like that. $55 retail.

Pucci Telescopic Rod: $25 includes shipping
- Excellent backcountry rod. UL action makes even 8" alpine trout feel like monsters. Good quality, cast maybe 3 or 4 times. Most tele backpacking rods are super cheap quality or very short. Carbon rod at 6.5' length is sweet spot in my opinion. Fly and bubble setup rocks with this. Love it, but have two and it's unlikely to see use. 7 rods is too many right now

Caddis Waders: $55 includes shipping
- Breathable waders. Looks like gore-tex fabric, but it's their own w/b material. Neoprene feet with gravel guards. Includes belt and repair kit. Worn one time in a tube, so they're in brand new condition. No dirt, not smells, nothing. Size XXL Stout, so they're pretty huge. Would easily fit a 300 pounder in my opinion. Maybe even 350 depending on the dimensions. Picked these because they're light for what they are, but just too big for me. Retail for around $100, I believe.

Barter: Looking for a Warbonnet bug net in like new condition. Maybe even a (gasp) ground bug bivy type shelter that's a pound or lighter. Maybe a Warbonnet Traveler hammock (the cheap basic one). Maybe a Granite Gear pack. Let me know what you got! Trading is always more fun than cash

I'm interested in the rod, but can you post a link to any info about it? I guess that makes me a strong "probably", unless it's already spoken for. Thanks!

There's not much out there to find. They were around a few years back and a couple dealers piled up a bunch of them and sold them off. I got 3 - a collapsible fly rod and two of these spinning rods. Best I can tell is that they're Italian and pretty well made. It's not a Sage or Winston, but it's a nice backpacking rod that won't cause emotional and financial trauma if it doesn't survive the rigors of the backcountry

Great action - very light - and a nice cork handle. I've been on a multi-year quest for quality telescopic rods and I'm pretty happy with these. Can't beat them for the price. Not the best overall, but certainly one of the best values. Weighs 2.9 ounces if that matters to you. Let me know if there are specific questions you have.

Not sure if rods go lighter than that, but that's what it's marked as.

Rod is sold. Waders remain - make an offer if you're interested.

BTW - Am I missing something or does the "EDIT" option disappear after a couple days?

Thanks for all the interest!
