Always wanted an 888 and kept bidding on the Orvis 888 without success. Did not realize I have an "888" in my stash :-)

What line do you like on that rod? How did it perform? I have a System 4 rod and really like it, nice rods.

I am not sure of the brand of line I used. It has the stiffness of a weed wacker line...probably a saltwater line.

Delicious and nutritious outfit - fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.
Was just admiring my own S/A's - realized I do not have this 888.
Four five six and seven. The seven has a dark red seat.

Looked around a little - dug out an 888 after all.
That ROSS above is a gem - nifty condition to boot.

Which reel would you choose ? a Billy Pate
