A Maxed -Out Cortez Squidder

Other awesome CC Squidder builds having their own threads and i didn't want to high-jack.

Here's my green one, one of my favorite reels period, with a few things from Ted: Matching green Accurate clamp and a mini-Tank log new style in green he did for me that arrived thirty minutes ago. My order for matching levers goes to Tom today

If I ever finish this boat refurbish I'm gonna fish these. The USS Ronald Reagan was faster.

The anodizing is dead on...bravo John and Ted!

You mean bravo Tom and Ted! I just stacked the Lego's.

You guys need that mini-log though, if your gonna bait fish. WAY comfortable for winching a sinker back.

Awesome!
You guys are driving me crazy with all these Cortez Squidders!
Someday, I will build my own!

Way too nice to fish, but no doubt you'll put it to use.

Tom's new shift lever will be icing on the cake !!

Nice reel, John! What do you mean by "mini-log"?

thorhammer · May 17, 2018, 06:48:46 PM

This one is only about 2.5" long vs. Ted's usual grip which is 3.5". It's just right for the Squidder. They are called "Tank Logs". The originals with the buttons had that inscribed.

John, your picture doesn't show the entire knob....we know it isn't too big to fit in the pic, so let's see the whole thang !!

Decker, that Lincoln log looks more like a Cortez Classic squidder

Some of us do all our fishing on the Internet, Gary, and we need an extended trip to Alaska to put us back in line.

Thanks. If I had more time I'd play with some of my toys, up here summer is a busy time. Love to look ar those pretty reels you folks are building. Very nice 👍

Wow, what a crab, Gary! Do those have any edible body meat, or just the legs?

We have a crab in NJ called a spider crab, that looks related to your king crab, but is treated strictly as an ugly nuisance here.

Now, back to the Squidder....
