Bought this little Shimano spinning reel for $3 bucks at a flea market last summer and it's all cleaned up runs really good but even though I've tried to clean up the spool I'd really like to get another one. The reel if I'm reading the side of it right is either AX or FX, it's one of their lower end reels but it'll be good for bushin!! It's got to be a bit older as it has the fast cast trigger on it. The only thing on the spool is 1000. Below are a few pics.

If you didn't find one, I will look when I get home today. I have a couple drawers full of older spools. Almost certain I have seen this one.

Got at least one spool coming in the mail. I'm gonna use this reel for bushin!!!! When I was yard saleing with the wife when I couldn't go fishing we stopped and a guy had a BPS ProComp II 1 piece 6ft spinning rod and all that was wrong with it was it needed a new tip - not a problem as I had a bunch at home and fixed it. The rod cost me $2 and the reel at $3. Got a great little outfit for cheap!!!!!!! I'll post a pic of the set up tonight!!!!!

Here's my new bushin rod!!!!! I think the guy painted the white rings around the rod to measure for trout but I'm not sure haven't pulled out a ruler to check it.

No I'm not sending you the outfit Doc LOL It's hopefully going for it's test run tommorrow. Couldn't get out for opening day I was keeping an eye on the wife, she's got strep throat and the meds are messing her up so can't leave her by herself - so I powder painted all day.

Well the spool I traded for didn't work on the reel - but keeping it anyway as it works on my Spirex 2000. So if anyone has a 1000 spool laying around all lonely let me know!!!
