necessity is indeed the mother of invention!

Yep

[Bryan Young]

That is great.  I wonder how many more people who gave up on fishing could use something like that fo their reels? 

I wish I thought of something like this when I was in school...but I was into hopping up cars and music.  Looking back, it was a waste when I could have been helping people out.

Beautiful! It's nice to see your uncle still enjoying this great sport of ours.
I often thought about how to make reels user friendly for those in need.
Very nice...

John reels was the name of the company.  They were out of Oregon. I think they have closed down now.
