The reel worked perfect on the water today with a couple nice mangos. No issues and very smooth in and out of gear.

Dwight,
Good to hear you enjoyed another great day out on the big blue.  No pics though?

Pics are on my wife's phone so maybe tomorrow.

Great shots Dwight! Nice of Elli to share her string with you, so your fish wouldn't look too lonely

That's gonna leave a mark!  LOL 😉

We whacked them again today. Elli and I had too big ones on at the same time which was cool.

Put Tom's creation to a good test yesterday and caught two 8 foot nurse sharks and 15 grouper on the west coast. The reel performed perfectly again as expected. No pics by me but the mate has them on his facebook. If I can get them I will post later.

Nice work!  Its good to hear the reel performed as advertised.  Sometime you should post some pictures of some of your reels after a hard season of catching.  Be interesting to see what wear or water intrusion (if any) you get on these reels. 

I've been perusimg some local shorecaster stuff lately.  Almost everyone has Newells.  Unfortunately many abuse them, and are not maintaining them properly.  You see many run to the point where they won't function properly before they crack em open for a full service.  I guess its a testament to the quality, and design of these reels.  They can get fished hard year after year, and still function as advertised.

Capt Als newels are the most abused that I have ever seen and I clean them once a year. Nothing ever wrong other than filthy.

My first Newell was bought in 1992 and washed after every use. It was opened for the first time 3 or 4 years ago and no surprises. I have tinkered with it and upgraded drags and bearings and Tom's parts. My grandson will have this reel some day and all the others stashed away for him.

After 92 trips last year there was really nothing noticed when I opened my reels and nothing mechanically wrong with Al's reels either. Just nasty.

I finally got around to making a few of these.
I used two spools that Dwight loaned me. There is a few thou difference in the dimensions, so you may need to polish the ID of the sleeve, and/or the spool shaft and especially the flats on which the pinion locks onto.
Dwight, how many do you want?
Bryan, do you still want 4?
$10.00 each plus a couple bucks for shipping.... Thanks!
