hi    guys           i joined awhile ago, i don't remember how i stumbled onto this site, but it was one of the best stumbling things i did.  not only is it very informative with very knowledgeable people, it has some very generous fishing and reel repair guys. iv'e purchased some parts very reasonable,traded reels,  iv'e had  reels and parts sent to my house by these wonderful guys because when i joined i posted that i was handicapped and couldn't really fish anymore, so picking up reels here and there gave me something to do.  refurbishing, repairing them and just collecting the reels became a hobby, or should i say an obsession, i love it, and i can honestly say iv'e never sold a reel, i have given a couple away to needy guys, but thats what it's all about, help one another.  so, i'm very fortunate to have joined this site and have become friends with a bunch of wonderful guys. my best to all of you, and like alan says welcome new people with open arms.     harryk

Thanks for the welcome everyone :)

So I waited 2 days to be able to go buy new dog springs.  When I sat down to put everything back together, I found the elusive dog spring stuck on some grease IN the reel  :o. Well, it's good to have spares.

Welcome to the site. The smaller and springier the part, the more you need a spare! Or two. ;D

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.

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

We feel sorry for you ;D  I'm glad to know you Tim.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Love you Tim, but after racking with you anything near dignity and respect is hard! ;D ;D  :P

Just throwing my two pennies in as a new guy myself.

I've got my first posts up here and in very short order I've had help, advice, opinions, and even help picking up a HIGHLY sought after part that if I hadn't been looking for I know would've been gobbled up.

My observations so far: even when people disagree on here, it doesn't resolve into an argument or waste-disposal-distance-contest. I've gotten help and seen good discussions that make it clear that this is a group of adults whose primary goals appear to be learning and helping. The regulars know enough that they can't be BSd and question less than solid information to help someone from being misled. This keeps out the know it all's and the ones who just want attention.

I was originally brought here thinking that it would be a parts/service site like Scott's and ended up staying once I'd seen what it really was. It's a hotrod shop where everyone is able to look at others as friends instead of competition and that says a lot.
