Tom has built some of these before and he does beautiful work guys.

My pretty sleeves arrived today and wow what nice work. Now when the stars get aligned right we will see some beautiful 300 series sleeve with chamfered bottom to fit all series and 10 teeth. If we bug Tom enough about these things it will happen. He has my pattern parts.

Thanks for a great job Tom.

Hi Tom:

My sleeves also arrived...thanks a million...they look great! Great craftsmanship!

x2 on a "pre-order"

for the smaller 2/3/4 ss sleeves...

I put a new sleeve in my old reliable 540 3.2 today and it was a perfect fit and double dogs snap into place on Tom's tooth design perfectly with a very sharp click. Fully assembled it operates like a dream reel. Very smooth and very strong.
If you did not order one you are missing a wonderful opportunity for perfection.

Yes he does, he can also build a complete reel, I have one

.... The man is a genius.

I fished with the 540 3.2 with the new sleeve, delrin and SS star yesterday. The smoothest the reel has ever felt and the fish suffered a little too. Got a nice cobia and 3 mangos.

I'm in for a 338 if available soon. My threads wont screw down.

A dozen of the 300s would be good for me when you get around to them.

MarkT · June 13, 2015, 01:38:34 AM

Just curious, why did you start with 600's and 500's? The market for 200/300/400 has to be many times larger than for 500/600's.

Tom: You know I'm good for some 2/3/4 ss sleeves also...if they'll fit on the original Blackie/P series. If it also fits post P series (or you make a second sleeve), that would be a plus for everyone who has later models.

I made the 500/600 first because there was not anything else out there. At the time we were discussing this, a bunch of SST 200/300/400 series sleeves hit the market.
As it turns out, those sleeves don't fit a lot of the older Newell reels. Am i going to make 200/300/400 sleeves? Probably.

I'd like a minimum of three of the 2/3/4s when/if they happen.
Thanks
