Nice day at the mailbox...

Been having something of an emotional down spell lately (not fishing-related) so receiving these two classic beauties today provided a most welcome pick-me-up:

One of the few 970s not already owned by Sal, and a 349 with a wide Tiburon frame... (never even saw one of those before.)

Needless to say, I am feeling a whole lot better!

Beautiful reels, a nice pick me up indeed.

Both very nice Aiala. The tanked 349 is awesome! Is your collection starting to catch up with Sal?

Ho, that'll be the day! I only have two 970s... Sal has what, 2 dozen? At least? No, he's definitely THE Power Mag Man, but I'm very happy with my little stash.

Thanks, Sal, I appreciate that. I seriously doubt you are in any way "losing it"... but I'll admit I was surprised (and delighted) to acquire this one.

Probably not new, Mr. Shark, but neither has seen much use at all. Shiny!

Nice reels Aiala. Sorry to hear of your doldrums, but looks like a bit of Retail Therapy was what the Dr. ordered.

Retail?

Nice reels! Those bad boys in the mailbox are the perfect "pick me up"!

Nice reels there.

But remind me once again what that first step was...
something about being powerless?

And are we providing a proper support structure or simply enabling?

I've seen a few of those mags sell on EBay of late, I can't believe someone other then Sal has picked these guys up.
