I purchased a sabre pacifica sp880c for a good price but i dont know what to do with it , its long and i cant find any specs online . it has a cork tape handle . i also want to find a good
reel for it. thanks .....

First of all, WELCOME to the boards, you will like it here, lotsa good folk.

Did a search for your rod and came up with no hits. Sooooooo.......

Measure your rod tip diameter just below the tip top and the butt diameter. If you cannot measure the bottom end of the butt , measure the diameter just above the top grip where the blank is exposed. You will need either a micrometer or a set of vernier calipers to measure it. A ruler will not be accurate enough. And what is the total length of the rod.

Grab the tip and bend the blank to about the 9-10 O'clock position, is most of the bend in the top 1/3, 1/2 or does the whole blank bend about evenly?

And can you tell what the construction material is? Glass, Graphite-Glass or all Graphite. If you look at it closely you may be able to observe a material transition near the tip section where it goes from Graphite to glass. Give it your best shot. If you cannot determine the construction material, no big deal.

Post the data required above and we can make a good guess at what you have, its best application and possible reel options.
