Post questions about this reel in this thread

[coastal_dan]

Just sharing a little overhaul...this is my sons first reel!  He is quite excited about it...

I bought it semi-locally from a gent that said the reel belonged to his wife's grandfather...hopefully he is happy with where his reel has ended up  

I also picked him up his first piece of Penn literature...catalog #18 with price adjustment insert...not that he'll appreciate it for many years...but here's to the future  .







Disassembled with my daughter coloring next to me (don't worry, her first reel is as neat as this, more in the future)



Final Product...





These Monofils are neat reels...

Tight Lines!

Dan, that reel sucks. You need to chuck it in my box with the AT Tee and I will send you back a gorgeous 9 in maroon. You know you don't want that nasty green shiny awesome reel.

Don't Tease the Boy with that little Greenie.
Give him the 16/0 and Watch Jaws.
Good Looking Boy Dan,
I'm glad those days are behind me now.
My Youngest and his wife are expecting soon.
Good Times.
The Next Generation Begins.
It is a Girl and my Wife is Ecstatic.
I raised three boys. (My Three Son's)
It was the best.
Now I get to watch them go in my footsteps.
I am very proud of them all.

That's good stuff right there. I don't have kids but my nephews and friend's kids get fresh rebuilt Penn's and Thorhammer rods. Doing  a 9 and a rod now for my buddy's three year old. We start 'em young reeling in Spanish, old skool.


Take a kid fishing. if you can't, give them the gear. If that isn't available chip some coin in Alan's youth fishing foundation. We got here for a reason.  The next generation will have way more of a challenge with dwindling resources, time, quality equipment and the thousand distractions of the digital age we didn't have to contend with. Greenpeace contended that hunters killed stuff.....we do. However, it is a well known fact that DU practically saved duck populations in it's conservation and wetland support efforts. Let's do the same.

That's a happy kid right there. Gotta start them young so you can sip on a beer while the kid drives and works the gear

  Nice reel Dan. The green swirl knob is perfect for that reel

You should be proud Daron. You've raised 3 fine young men. Congrats on the newly expected grandchild.

  BTW, I watched "my 3 sons" and still remember the show. I have 2 older brothers, so I could relate

Hung up in his room . Can't beat a $1.51 shelf I painted!
