Good to have you here.  Dominick
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.

Welcome from PA!

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

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...I'm based in New Jersey in the Atlantic City area...Not looking for high volume business.  My starting goal is 50 reels in my 1st year...I started taking business about 2 weeks ago and already have completed 5 jobs.  Don't want to chew off more than I can digest...I love working on Penn reels.  I'm an offshore fisherman and use my Senators regularly. I'm sure there are some experts in the group that can help me get through some sticky operations.  Thanks again everyone.

Heck if you run into a problem with a Penn Reel you can drive to Philadelphia. You can also drive to Little Egg Harbor for parts.  Dominick :D

Put an AD in the local paper in Ocean City. There isn't many places in that town for reel repair.

Welcome Aboard

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
