Hello Everyone,
  I fish Maryland's Chesapeake Bay and the mid-atlantic canyons out of Ocean City MD. I decided it was time to start taking care of my own reels and found this site. What a great resource! Gave me the confidence to dig into servicing my first few Penn Internationals. Plenty more reels to do, so many questions will follow I'm sure. Thanks for the great tutorials for beginners like myself.   -Rick

Hi all, I was recommended to your site by my son and am very happy I was.

I have been fishing for about 50 years and servicing my own reels for about 45. I thought I was dong OK but after reading through this site I see that some of you have taken it to a completely new level. The reels of today have come a long way and the need to service them correctly is now probably more important than ever.

I am particularly interested in the new lubricants now available and have ordered some TSI-321 to try in my baitcasters and overhead casting reels, it appears to be a giant leap in technology from the sewing machine oil I have used in the past.

Being newly retired I now have plenty of time on my hands so I may just pull apart the 30 or so reels in my cupboard and see if I can improve them.

I would like to thank Alan and his team of mods for keeping this site going for guys like me, I know it can seem like a thankless job at times but I can assure you it is very appreciated.

Cheers, Geoff.
