That's! Uhm! Remarkable.
Do a 4/0! 
I want one I want one I want one.
Wow that's something I only dream about.  Man you got skills, need to know how it performs.  Looks great though.

Is it possible to get a brief, but more detailed explanation about automatic shifting " based on line load and how hard one cranks"? Thanks.

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Spectacular work Robert! Webster's Dictionary doesn't even have a word to describe talent like that!

Seems simple to me... increase the drag/load and the top main gear will stop spinning.. in essance 'shifting' into low.  Conversely, decrease the drag, and the high speed gear will grab the drive shaft.  Maybe?

Do what you can with that you have where you are

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Robert,  I knew you had some skills but that's just ridiculous. Who ever thought of turning a 9/0 into a two speed?! You gotta let us know how it fishes.
I have to pick my face off the floor now... Wow!

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Yeah!  Outstanding!  So, when do the kits for this 2 speed conversion hit the shelves!  You have SKILLS!

Looks very similar to Abu's auto 2-Speed design (which I have yet been able to understand). 

Yes, exactly. This is really just another version of Abu's automatic, so i don't get any credit for actually inventing anything this time.

Yes, that is right. In one version of this automatic transmission the point at which the gears change is dictated by adjusting a seperate dial. In another version the shift point is determined by default as a certain percentage of whatever the drag is set at. I found the former a bit too fiddly in practice, even if adjustable is a good thing sometimes. So i went with the standard default version here. No sense in making things more complicated than they need to be. (imagine if say, the gear ratios in your car were adjustable... how many people would actually be interested in understanding and fiddling around with that? What for? What a headache.)

So, even if i have previously been enamored by the magical enigma of automatic shifting, i can really see the virtues of a standard, manual gear shift here. It is as said much more mechanically complicated, so it takes some more doing. Maybe later.

Robert, I don't see a notch in the pinion. How does it engage the spool?

I'm in awe.

If it's mechanically cheaper to make the 2 speed auto shift...why aren't all two speeds done that way?
From a manufacturers perspective, I mean.
