Best Catch: 500+ Black Marlin in Costa Rica on Standup
Occupation: Sales
Retro Candycane Re-do

Found her laying in a barrell in an antique store. She needed work. Stripped off old finish, varnish and guides. Re-finished wood butt, purchased new reel seat, and new guides and re-wrapped her up like she just stepped out of the store in the early days. Popped on a mint,never fished, hard to find Penn Senator 1/0 from my collection of 40+ Penns and will put her on display.
