Hey Guys,

I picked up some Lee Pro side plates. Just seeing if anyone has some history on these bad boys. Google doesn't yield a lot of results.

I have some gold ones on a 113H, and also these on one of my 99s:



I think they're great, I love 'em! Neither of my sets carry the "K C" mark, though; I'm pretty sure there's a specific reason those letters appear on some of the Lee Pro tail plates, but rather than speculate I'll let someone more knowledgeable tell why.  :)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

Aiala, that reel is gorgeous, I love green on reels. Well, I love green in my pocket as well ;D.
The letter where a tribute to his wife, I believe she was killed while making a sales, she helped her husband.
I might be wrong, this information was given to me a while back.

Thanks, Sal. It fishes great, too!  :)

Me, too, but being a compulsive reelhead sure empties those pockets in a hurry.   :P

I heard the same story about the wife... very tragic.   :-\

Beautiful reel! I actually got green ones as well! I plan to do the same build, but with a 501 frame. Also, my plates are not in as good of shape.

Very sad to hear about his wife Sal, I actually like the Lee Pro style plates, feels more like a Penn reell.

About 7 years ago I had a shot at excellent condition green Lee pros on fleabay. $60 they went for. I'm kicking myself now. These are beautiful side plates. Nice reels!!
luck is the residue of design.

They look fabulous!! Congratulations, and I hope you catch tons of fish with 'em!   :D

P.S. Now Sal is going to be even more determined to get hold of some!   ;)

Thanks! I will be using this as a jigging reel. The narrow and 5:1 gear ration will help for vertical gigging! These jigmaster builds have become my favorite reel

There isnt enough green to get me to let go of this green beauty! This color green is actually my favorite color and now among my never let go of reel list! But I do have a reel I need to get to you ;D

It is a beauty Jason, I like both Aiala's and yours.
I'll be waiting for when you two get tired of them ;).
Green on reels is gorgeous, I don't get it why most manufacturers favor Gold  :-\.

By the way, my Firebird in the early 80's was very close to your color with stripes as Starsky&Hutch ;D
