Good luck with your search.
They are excellent rods!! I've got 2.
My second one, I picked up from Crimeconverters for $20.00 , only needed 1 runner replaced 8)
Does anyone out there have one of the old Shimano Black Magnum Fightin Rods Models BKM 1552 or SF 1552 that they are willing to part with?
Thanks
Cameron

I have the model BKM 1653 4-10 kg baitcaster. I am willing to part with it if you are willing to make a serious offer.

Sounds interesting - I am not familiar with that particular model no. - could you give details on length and does it have the pistol grip handle?
Thanks
Cameron
Cameron,
don't have it on me, but it is about 6 ft, pistol grip butt with unusually long butt. All the guides except the stripper are single foot.
Since you can't PM me, you can call me on 0414 779 107 if you wish to discuss further.

After a bit of searching I've got a bead on the model that you have - a bit longer than the models I'm chasing, thanks anyway.

As I have mentioned to cburke in another world i got one of these for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I can't belive how good they are.....
I have just picked up a BKM 1602 pistol grip baitcaster 8-20 lb. If you are still interested, PM me or email me at jeremyA@qimr.edu.au to discuss price.

Jeremy,
The BKM 1602 are magnificent rods. I got 2 of them too
Actually, I modified one of them on the weekend. Removed the trigger & reshaped the grip. Now has my Shimano TSS2 on it [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
