Don't worry, Sal. I will have some of this spool in alum for you early next year.

Thanks,

Ping fishing buddies in Hawaii...and so response.  Sorry.  There was a set 2 months ago...if I knew, I would have jumped on it.  Sorry.

Thanks for giving it a shot Bryan.  If you come across any Bluefin spools in the future, I would love to have them.

If its for sale, what do you need to have for it?

Sal, do you have any nice Penn 24-56 handles with colored knobs or left side plates for the 505/506HS that you might want to trade?  If you would rather talk than type, you can reach me at 805-748-9202.

Thanks,

Randy

Randy, I was collecting those with 3 holes and got rid of them last year, I had many colors. I believe I had 15 of them, I got over $30 for some.

Tiburon has a run of BFS sets in stock, I'm not certain they would fit a Newell kit but you might call them.

Hi Randy --

If any of these 24-56s would help -- let me know.

Then I can just send you some handles -- and you can send Sal the spool.

Best,

Fred

Thanks Fred, but those are 24-66 handles.  I need the 24-56 handles, which are not counterbalanced and have three holes for adjusting the length.

Randy

[Shark Hunter]

I'm sure he has those too!

If they have what you want but don't want to ship it to you, I can go pick it up and ship it for you..LMK

Guys, I thank you very much, you are amazing. Keep in mind, if you need anything that I could help with, you already know I'm here.
On the spool, I think I'm going to wait until early next year, if Alan Chui says he will make these available, I'm sure they will happen, he hasn't let me down yet.
I hope he does make these for everyone that needs them, the 146 will also be nice, but they need to be at a reasonable price...we'll see.
Thanks again guys.

Thanks, Randy --

My mistake -- sorry I misunderstood.

I will check what I have when I get home tonight -- but it will be late since I am helping run a voting poll precinct location -- and will be pretty late getting home.

Just trying to get this spool for Sal -- since he helps so many people on this Board -- but if it doesn't work out -- that is OK too.

What is your location, Randy?  I probably need to come over to visit you sometime.

All the Best,

Fred

I too will dig up some of those handles and post here.

[Shark Hunter]

I'll see what I have too.

Hey vintage.  A very Italian custom is; when you know someone wants something and you have it you just give it to him.  There are no guarantees but something good will come back to you.  PM me for Sal's address if you want.  Dominick
