Larger Bearing Packer - 1" to 1.5" and metric equivalence

[Bryan Young]

With reference to Alan's bearing packers, would you be interested in purchasing larger bearing packers, similarly to http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=870.0 for larger trolling reel bearings?

If larger than 1.5", please add comment to the largest size you would be interested in purchasing.  Also, please indicate a reasonable price you'd be willing to pack for the larger bearing packer.

If there is a good interest, we may price out a quantity to see if it's financial reasonable to provide a larger bearing packer.

The pole is open for 30 days.  This should give us an idea if this is something that should be looked into further.

i could use a set that can do 50's to 130's and im sure most of the repair shop's here would be interested.

Of course! Let me know what you want size-wise, and I'll work something up.

Hey Tom,

I'm gonna meet up with a bunch of folks in Hawaii to measure bearing out and will get back to you.  Looks like a good niche market for sure.  Still waiting to see if it's financially feasable.

Dominick,

         It definitely helped   , but I've been psyching myself up for a lil' sharkin'  and tuna fishing in the canyons or mudhole (NJ/NY) for a few years now.  My only problem is the lack of dedicated crew members (with experience).  I've got a bunch of fishing buds, but it ain't easy snatching up employed and married   guys from their wives for a full day trip... especially all 3 guys on a week day, which is when I'm off work (they aren't).  This year I got a plan... I'm going to grab one buddy of mine on a Monday and let him think we're going striper fishing for a few hours... emphasize on the THINK!  ...We goin' SHARKIN' Boy!!!  Hope he doesn't realize the different gear, chum buckets, 200 lbs of ice, food and drink for 24hrs, larger baits, gaffs, harpoon (better leave that in the galley-it's a dead give away Hey Dom... wanna here some great tournament fish stories from your trip.

Hey Dom:  Is your boat big enough to run to the canyon?  You gonna need mucho petrol amigo.  That's where the Big Eye lurk.  When I learn how to get my photos over from PhotoBucket, I'll post them on the fish picture thread.  Dom

It sure is... 320EC World Cat w/ twin 300 suzuki's.  Worse case scenario I could bring a 50 gallon fuel bladder to be safe.  Here Fishy fishy fishy!

kamuwela-san, 1.5 inches works?  tom, delron?  the cost of brass would be prohibitive......

[kamuwela]

[Bryan Young]

Hi Alan,

Bryan
