I'd take it if it's free, but I don't believe they can be converted. Those are selling for $50.00-$60.00 depending on where you shop. Take advantage of that one! You can never have too much equipment!

By any chance, do you know if it's a slotted-retriever, or not? I've been wanting a slotted-one for a while. If it is, and it's in good shape, I'd trade you (I have 2 Retrievers and 2 spincasts).
