Thanks To the unlucky fisho.

So I go for a walk along mascot canal along Qantas drive every lunchtime . Today something caught my eyes! It was a broken fishing rod on the edge of the canal in long grass on the other side of the fence. Curiosity got the better and I hope over to get it and check it out only to find a penn spin fisher attached.. What a find! It was really dirty and sitting there a while by the looks of it! So I took the lot back to the office threw out the destroyed rod and just finished cleaning it up. Still really smooth just like the one I have at home. What a win!

If any fish raiders have lost this reel in the location I found it let me know! If not the I have an empty rod at home waiting

My guess is a decent Jewie or similar grabbed it off an poorly adjusted drag, unsuspecting fisho. Good spotting Stan!

Yeah that's why I'm thinking! No fisherman would let this reel go to waste ! Rod looked like it was once a nice rod haha

They look like the ones on sale at a camping store ATM for less than $100

I have the 850 version. As you say, a nice reel
