I know I have a problem. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have a thing for 12/0's. I buy them up and buy parts for them when I can't find a whole one.
It takes a while to accumulate enough parts to build an entire reel.
I've did it several times. This time, I have enough to build two.
No stock build either. SS sleeves, posts, inserts, double dogs, The works.
Since I had all my parts boxes out working on Client's reels. Though I would do an Inventory Check.
The table is Clear Now. That doesn't happen too often. ;)

Looking good, DD. I see two of everything except for Adam's insert kit.... What is that reel on top of your jar of Penn Blue?

So, Mr. Shark, how many 12/0s do you have now? A dozen?  :)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

I really don't know Aiala. ::)
Sid, That was a gift from Dominick. The Shark Reel.
I'm also missing a rod clamp and handles.

fantastic   daron,  the addiction is fabulous isn't it.  it is great therapy and passes time away, the gratification when the reel is complete is so rewarding, great work my friend.    harryk

Yes, you have a problem, and WE wouldn't have it any other way. I have a problem too....I'm just building Squidders, Jigmasters and 4/0's from parts, and a 9/0 occasionally....my problem is no SPI to build the big ones :) ...

You have to wait for the right deal or the cost is prohibitive. Especially the rings and side plates.
I have your stand boxed up. I went through all my inventory, and they are all tapped. Guess you got lucky. :D
