Long Beach 66

What? Only one dog and no stainless sleeve?

No not on this guy. Keeping its as stock as I can for now. Maybe later

The nice thing about the older Long Beaches like this one is the steel gear. Really tough little reels and simple with no bling.

Very nice Jason, I wish I had a reel pile in my garage . I bet the drags feel nice and smooth. From my testings, keeping the delrin washer apro. 2 mm away from the edge of the main gear teeth, you will be just fine with the dogs. That is how I like mine.

Very nice, and a SS spool. A handle from Alan and it's a great bottom fishing reel. Stock handle is good to.

Will any of the Newell bars fit the Long Beach 66?  If so, then four of the posts could be replaced with them. 

It's possible but you  will have to drill and tap a couple of holes. I know for a fact that the 113H Senator II bars will work in a 67 by drilling and tapping two holes in each bar (one on either side). This leaves the bottom post intact. A very easy job with a small drill press from Harbor freight.  A 113 aluminum spool also fits a 67.

I'm not trying to rub it in Keith, but this came today.

Daron,

Seems like it's just like Christamas at least twice a week at your household.  Remember this is the season if giving

All this talk about long beaches made me dig into the reel pile I have in the garage. Got a bunch of reels in a big box from a yard sale been going through them. I knew I had one but never had any reason to fix her up.




This reel is definietley not as beefy as the 66 but its a cool little reel.

Nice job as always!! But as you said in that thread the 2/0 already has that. 





With SS sleeve and 5 stack and delrin washer

Here is my Longbeach 60
This one is in excellent condition and it will stay a is.
I love these side plates.

[Maxed Out]

Those are my favorites also Sal. The etched side plate long beach reels are from the mid 30's to early 50's and when you find one in nice condition it's almost a sin to go use it or do any modifications to the original parts. I see yours still has the original bearing with no part number, which tells me it is factory original. Definitely a keeper.
