roger, welcome! i guess i won't be expecting you to stick to the $20 limit!

Hi Alan,

Actually it has been a great week of re focussing my efforts.....like the calm before the Storm!

Sold Daiwa 50H and 450H, Jigmaster 500L, a month old, Penn 24kg rod, Surf Rod 12 ft.

Being a visual person...i have found i love brighter toys!
This week Penn Red 113H, just re greased the spool and its mint overall!
Keen to get in line for a 115 9/0 frame.
Then i can slowly collect 115 bits as we head towards xmas.
Looking to move north to Whangarei 0110 before xmas...time for a Lifestyle Focus.
Superb scenery and fishing and golf.
I tent to take nice photos, but realise i need 10? posts before this happens.

Thanks again Alan. Will be looking for SS Sleeves in the near future !

Shark Hunter · April 25, 2015, 04:34:50 AM

Welcome Roger! You can post photos any time you like. I know of no 10 post rule.
Glad to have you!

GotaPenn0110 · April 25, 2015, 05:09:53 AM

Thanks Fred ( Foakes)

Thanks Sharkhunter

Hopefully there is a Penn pic for Penn friends to view.
113h Red, Longbeach 68, Black 114, and in bits 349HC, yes the spool is out of round...

Keta · April 25, 2015, 05:17:22 AM

Hi. Bummer about the 349 spool, mono was hard on them.

Shark Hunter · April 25, 2015, 05:47:12 AM

Great Picture Roger. You are on your way.

GotaPenn0110 · April 25, 2015, 06:29:22 AM

Thanks Keta, i'm waiting for Xmas and Mr Santa to bring an Accurate replacement.
I bought the 349HC for the twin levers and fast ratio,
so when budget permits, can transform back to a modern classic with fast retrieve!

Trying to stick with the older USA models.
Have a 113HLW but its not the same !

Cheers, Roger
