Welcome Aboard from N.Y.

Happy to see another Newell guy here. All my Newell's are P440 & smaller.

Welcome Wes, you have some nice reels there. Looks like your bench could use some room, I'll take the three red and the three gold at the right.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Mike...I've always been a Penn man, but these old legs just aren't what they used to be. Those 114HLW's weigh too much for me to pack up them cliffs in the morning! The 646's are half the weight.
AM...The gold ones sure are pretty, huh? I converted all my 113HLW's with Accurate frames, plates and handles about 15 years ago. My eldest son is a hardcore slide-bait fisherman as well and has been eyeballing them since I switched to Newell's this season. (dream on, kid!)

Hey Rob,

I've been to Redding several times over the years for the NFAA Marked Animal Championships (target archery). Straight Arrow Bowhunters has an awesome range up Swasey Drive. Nice people. One year I'll bring along a rod and reel and give the old Sac a try!

Norcal Pescador · August 28, 2012, 06:00:26 PM

Wes,
This has been a great year on the Sac for salmon! Shasta Lake has been good for kokanee, trout and bass, and Whiskeytown for kokanee. Bring your boat - I'm no help. $:-\$

I've been to Straight Arrow, nice place although I'm not an archer.
Rob

hi alan
thanks for having me. im nazeem davids from cape town, south africa. im chuffed to be part of such a global group all pursuing a passtime is so enjoyable and laid-back. here in south africa and particularly here at the southernmost point of africa in cape town, we really enjoy our fishing. i havnt repaired a reel myself yet but im willing to learn. ive got 5 reels, 3 grinders and 2 multipliers. i enjoy saltwater shore fishing for edibles using a few rods from 5' to 14'.

Welcome Nazeem.
All the best, Justin

Welcome Nazeem. I too prefer saltwater edibles over freshwater.

Enjoy your stay with us.
