Ted's Pot O' Gold 2.0

Shark Hunter · March 01, 2015, 07:14:14 AM

This took a lot of help from members here, but I managed to get it done!

Even with a brand new bridge, it has to be shimmed to take out the slop.

A big Thanks to Randy Pauly of Vintage offshore Tackle for the Accurate 9/0 Clicker kit.
I really believe this was the last one on the planet for this build!

Black Pearl ss Hex Drags with Delrin on the top and bottom.

I just did a single ss dog. These plates are not mine. I don't feel comfortable grinding on them.

Both plates ready. The clicker was a treat as well as the custom bearing holder made by Tom Hyrinuk.
The reel clamp came from him as well. His Last One.

Truly a gold Masterpiece.

Thank you Randy Pauly, Tom Hyrinuk, Paul Berinson and Dom for all your help.
Enjoy Your Pot o' Gold Ted! The Pleasure was all mine!

A genuine objet d'art... but surely it will never be fished?

Beautiful job, Daron --

Some of those components are extremely rare...

What a great reel.

A reel that nice, strong, and well prepared -- needs to be used.

Otherwise, it will never prove its worth -- or earn its stripes.

Best,

Fred

Now Daron that's a masterpiece .

Thanks Guys and Gals. Enjoy it Ted. I was beginning to have my doubt's on finding the parts to complete this. It couldn't have happened without all the great members on this site.
