Hello everyone, Ryan here introducing myself. I stumbled upon this gem of a site after looking into upgrading my grandpas 9/0 and i must say Iv come to the right place. After seeing the upgrades on here Im very impressed. After talking to Daron he has agreed to do the full monty on it. Im not much into the do it yourself but I believe my reel will be in excellent hands. Shout out to Daron for taking this on. Thanks dude!!

Welcome aboard, Ryan --

Something to remember --

A relative newcomer to servicing and repairing fishing tackle, can come onto this site cold -- and within 90 days of observing, practicing, listening, doing -- will know more and have better skills than some of the professionals who have been doing this for a decade or more.

These guys have already done the "ramp up" for you -- experimentation, real world conditions, calculations, engineering, clever tricks, and experience.  You are stepping aboard the SS AT -- at a high level of previously proven techniques -- plus, you will learn more, and develop your own skills to teach us.

If nothing more than learning about your own equipment, and becoming proficient in its operation and proper service -- that is enough.

Look forward to your posts.

Best,

Fred
