Chris's 12/0

Shark Hunter · December 15, 2015, 06:05:27 AM

I received a reel today from Chris. He is known as Lowprofile around here.
He is the young Marine stationed in Korea that caught that big swordfish on his 12/0.
He said he had problems with the star backing off during the fight.
I'm going to take care of that, and am honored to work on his reel for him.
It arrived in a Pelican case. Now that is Class. I transport my own backups in this same manner.
An insert will be in order here.

Wow! That's some serious packing material.

Chris is a great guy. Fix him up Daron..

Thanks Daron!

I just don't trust the postal service. I've had too many packages arrive beat up and damaged to risk something with so much sentimental value. You should try flying with a pelican case full of reels and hooks.. Mine got opened at three airports and of course they un packed it and tried to re pack it... Not a fan of TSA and they apparently aren't fans of Pelicans lol.

Anyways, I can't wait to get this reel back! The insert and DD I'm sure will just put it over the top!

Very cool, my wife is over seas for another couple of months but she has had some yarn and accessories mailed to her from a few people on a crochet site, enough to spread through the base and I can tell you it means the world to her to know that people appreciate her sacrifice of being away from everything dear to her for the greater good. So I salute you Daron for the kind gesture and also Chris, thanks for your service and stay safe.

It is Just Tom Hryinuk and me.
I could use a little help with the shipping back to Korea.

Thanks to everyone involved. I'd never expect you to do any of it for free and if your going to hook me up like that I'll atleast cover shipping back.

Daron, I want in on this too. I'm happy to help Chris in any way I can. I can also help with shipping, or any other way, just let me know! PM me your email and I can Paypal transfer some bucks to help out! Chris, I, personally, appreciate your service and admire you for doing what you do for our country (this is quite personal for me). These are difficult times, and I'm afraid things may become even more difficult in the near future. We need good men like you maintaining our freedoms and human rights. But for God's sake, take care of yourself and get out and fish as often as you need to so you can maintain your edge and stay sharp when you are on duty. Work hard, play hard, sleep hard! Semper Fi!
