D.O.M: this one is dated "August 2000"

I've got one mint from cash converters a few years a go

In my opinion a very good reel - I've had the lightweight version for quite a few years now since they first appeared....

Yes they have been around a few years, I forgot to edit the listing, when I discovered the CoA, which is dated "August 2000". I have altered it to show approximate date
