My humble collection of Newells, I have added a few more since they was taken. Have other reels, but they are packed away to avoid a beating from the wife lol

Nice looking group of Newells, still my all time favorite reel. That's a little slice of newell heaven right there.

I have come a long way since I came here. I enjoy it every day and consider you all my friends!
I am a simple person that doesn't ask for much. I work hard and enjoy the simple things in life.
I hope you all will express yourself as I have, and I enjoy building and refurbishing every one of these!
14/0's in the back, 16/0 in front of the Everol 14/0, 12/0's next, then the 10/0's. 9/0's and 114H's on the right. A few Jigmasters and Surfmasters in the front.
Super Mariners, The Tank, and the Wex!
Nothing but Cherries Al!
A couple rigs I'm ready to bring to the Gulf Coast in two short months! 14/0 on the right with a Batson Rainshadow 130 lb 5'6" blank with Zirconium guides, two 12/0's with the Big Nasty and a two piece Davis roller rod, 9/0 on a 100lb roller rod and a 114H on a Senator Mariner rod.
I couldn't fit these on the table.
A few more rods I haven't rigged yet. Winthrop roller, Billfisher 80 lb, Custom wood handle 80 lb and a few other roller rods.
Your turn Guys! Pull out all the stops! Lets see what you Got!

i always chuckle when i see this....that was already an outstanding collection four years ago when you had "come a long way". I expect your definition of what is a long way has changed since then lol....

I do have a bigger Kitchen Table now, but not big enough.

Alto Mare · January 17, 2018, 09:57:50 PM

WOW buddy, you need to control yourself

! time to get a display cabinet on craigslist

That's about $20,000 sitting on that table and I'm not counting the custom parts

Very nice Daron!

Now that's some collection right there!

Guys,
This thread was started four years ago. This is the original post that started it.
I could fill that table probably four times now.
Yes, I have a problem.
But, I don't own anyone a dime and am sitting well for my retirement in about 10 years or so.
