A few weeks back doing my regular flea market trips I ran across a shimano scimitar 6"6 one piece for $10 bucks.

I have the scimitar in a 6"0 foot two piece that my dad gave me when I was a kid. 

So I had to get it. No one else understands the significance or what I'm talking about figure I'd share here.

 

I'm refurbishing the cork.

Good score, now flip it on the flea market here

I scored a Shimano Scimitar rod this past week too- an impulse buy really in a local pawn shop for $10.00 too, but I picked up the 7' M SMS-70M.

I bought it to replace my last 7' ML rod my 2 year stepped on in the boat snapping off 9" of the tip when he lost his balance.

And even though this rod is rated as a medium, it feels more like MH- of which I do not need any more MH's. But I will give this rod a try out as 'medium' and see how it does, but I must say it is a little big and heavy for its rating.

Sure wish I could find another one like the one my kid broke.

Not a bad rod for the price. You can't beat it. Good score!

Is that a shimano Sedona 2000F (or close) spinning reel on your "new" Scimitar?

 

Looks like a good pickup. You can really get some deals at a flea market or Goodwill type store.

Yes it's a old reel that came off the original scimitar my dad got me years ago.

Happy Scimitar

Nice score!

I have quite a few positive memories of the Scimitar rod too! I think the one I have is still currently sitting in the basement.
