    Why do you care how much it sold for or when it was made as long as it works well and you'r happy with it. Sounds to my like you got a good deal. Look at it this way if it were new and you bought it today you would pay a lot more than $80 for it, so rejoyce and "Fish On".

    if that's the rocky mountain series, then I have that exact rock.  bought it in 1993 and they stopped making it a couple of years later.  new it cost $260.  the blank was the same used on the top of the line model, the superfine.  only differences were the quality of the componets ie cork, reel seat, etx.
