Hi Guys,

Thanks to the generosity of Sal (Alto Mare) for the spool, and Daron (Shark Hunter) for the handle, I was able to send my 116L back in time!

It really sparkles now.

Being in the U.K., I never thought I would own one of these.

I thank you both again for making this reel my pride and joy.

Mike.

I recently completed my new rod racks. In the past I had rods scattered in various bedrooms and the garage, now most of them are in my office.

This first group are all Calstar rods.

This second group is a "MIX BAG" of Truline, Sabre, Shimano, a couple bamboo, and a couple unknowns.

The Abu Garcia antireverse dog uses a a leaf spring that grips the ratchet and insures the engagement of it in the teeth of the ratchet. However the leaf spring can loosen over time and the engagement cannot be maintained resulting in a failed antireverse. After much deliberation I decided to do away with the (potential) problem by adding an extra spring to insure the meshing of the dog and ratchet at all times and the solution was to convert a 7mm diameter traction spring by creating a hook that catches the dog and a straight tale that keeps it in place around the dog security post and in essence creating a torsion spring. The side effect is a clicking antireverse. I did this modification to my Abu Garcia AG Seven and the Fladen Maxximus 77NB
