Wow!

Now thats what they call "going two feet in...." TOTAL COMMITMENT!!!

And I thought I was "hardcore"!

One day I think I gotta try that....Yeah right....I think the gaff man has the right idea....just stay on the sidelines and watch. Instead of holding the gaff, he should be throwing his partner a mask, snorkel, and a pair of fins

I had to move this reel while I waited for parts. After I loaded it on the tray, I thought of the picture of the month, so I thought I'd get it uploaded before Broadway Dom shows his Senator collection. It's a Penn International 50vsw. I titled the picture "Waiting for Parts from Scott's." If you have a NY accent, it rhymes. Dominick

Looks like surgery time! I just got some of those dental picks from my dentist... can't wait to try them out. Nice photo of your set up!

dominick, you're way too neat!

Bryan Young · January 14, 2011, 08:52:48 AM

Nice tray. My wife would kill me if I used a tray like that to hold my reel parts. She would probably send me to McDs to cockroach (permanently borrow) a tray or two for my reel work.

Alan: You did not miss anything. I screwed up in dismantling the drag cover. I removed the e-clip and permanently locked the cover. I thought I would have to break the cover or the pin to remove it. So before I tried to remove it with the locking pin in place I ordered a new cover and I lost the small e-clip so I ordered that also. After the parts came, I was able to pry the locking pin up and grip it to unscrew the drag cover. So I don't need the drag cover anymore. If you need one I have it. I'll send it gratis to you or any of the registered Alani Tani guys and gals. Alan, Im also I'm working on getting you one of those dental tools. Everytime I hear that you use a fish hook to remove a seal I think I'd better get you a real tool. I'm working on it. Dominick
