Top: My first 259 Long Beach Live Bait caster, with a couple of extra pieces. What a nice reel....basically a 1/0 wide.

Mid: One of a pair of nice 505HS acquired...$35 each, a bargain.

last: 12/0 I picked up a few weeks back, with a Shark Hunter rig in front

Nice mods with the side plates. The 259, 505 and 12/0 are very clean looking reels! Well done.

ah, that's why you needed so many!

Nice arsenal!

I used the AT 5/0 handle tile-fishing this summer...it was a life saver. I noticed numerous folks, with the smaller 'ergonomic rubber grips' from various manufactures, were fumbling and aggravated with these due to not allowing your whole hand to crank; the 5/0 spreads the load through your entire palm. Just my opinion of course

Alan, not done yet lol. Let me know when you get the next run situated; these are fantastic and I'm going to put them on my 30's also. Paula had to work so the only reason I flew home to NC was to put these on; otherwise I'd have come straight back to Newark 😀👍✈️🛥🎣 now back to work ⚗🔬💉...

Dan, fished Alan's stuff this weekend, concur entirely.

Mo I hadn't held one before but that 259 had s lot of opportunity. I think Bryan did a nice thread on his.
