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.

Did someone crack a joke?

Or a wisecrack...  Dominick

Careful now ;) , there may be a plumber or two lurking.  ;D
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Pipe down--plumbers don't lurk, they just stand around and sweat* a lot.

Sal, if you got a PDF of that manual, maybe you could PM it to Decker & let him post it (?)

This one is done, for those interested, I kept adding pics so, you will need to start from the very top.

Enjoy it!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

My dad  (I still have it)   fished  30 years using  the "LUXOR" mer et  saumon (sea & salmon)  which is the same as the crack 300 , on a 28" rod half-bamboo half fiberglass (yes  7 meters  ;D )

I have a small one too  for fishing trout ,I will post some photos ,it's  practically new ....

You're a brave sold to go after the spool with a forstner bit Sal.  It turned out great though. 

Welcome Fred.  I want to see the rod sometime.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't that feature unique to the "Supreme" line?

Yes ,I suppose ...I don't have any other from this line/period  .  N°2 R  & N°2 L  were two variations of gear ratio for this model  "R" for rapide (high speed) an   d "L" for  lent (slow )
