Well, dawg gone, as the resident OM user apparently on this board, wished I was off and on-line when the original post was "posted". Dang, I hate having to work, but if there isn't a deal consumated, let me know and I'll take it (long as the eyes are straight). For the record I have a 10' and 11' Ocean Master both with Penn 6500ss reels, and if that reel works on the 12' someone is going to love their new rod.:---> Only apparently not me
