I picked this beauty up awhile back, wanting to collect them.
I've realized that I don't have the space to be much of a collector right now ;D
This one is in too nice of shape for me to fish it so I thought I'd offer it up to you guys here before I post it anywhere else.
This 980 is in great condition and comes with the original box, cloth bag, literature, Penn oil, and tool.
Make me some offers, I want it to go to a good home.

Give me a general idea of what $$$ you are thinking of?
$120 or best offer.
Ahh, I got the 960 and 970. Still haven't used mine yet.

Throw some 80lb braid on it, no top shot, dial it in and keep it around just in case you get a surprise audit by the TaxMan ;D
I already have a 990 (big brother) set up that way. Love it! Don't really need the 980.

I don't think that reel can handle one. I believe the pinion is still made of soft brass. 7gills and soups, no problem.
