Wife is the best. This is just the fishing bits and not even all of them as I already put the guts that go to them in the parts trays for the builds. It's like grown up Legos.

Thanks to Alan, Randy, Tom, Nick, Black Pearl, Ted, Harry, Mo, Dawn and Lou who all will have DNA in the builds when complete.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Ohana!!!!!

Yep, can't complain about a wife like that.

J.H., found these hangin around the shop! By any chance could you use them?

I'm messin with ya Bud. I just finished the reamed holes in the mill. Today was Blue knob day. Don't know why but that's just how it worked out. You, Ted, and sent an email to Bryan but haven't heard from him.
Still more to go but I'm gaining on it. It was insane here last week. My mailbox on the phone was filled 3 times.

Your goodies look great and I know they'll be awesome when done!

Have a great evening, .. Lou

Yessir I love the green. If Tom ever does 6/0 and 9/0 kits I'm bankrupt

Hi Lou,

I'm still in it to win it. You make the call. They look awesome.

Looks like some quality bench time. Any plans for the International?

thorhammer · December 27, 2016, 04:40:37 PM

Meaning, service, upgrade or use it? Hopefully all three; I'm upgrading the handles and clamps as I go. The 30 and 30 wide are my two most practical users offshore here in NC, so I grab them when I find a good deal, service, spool with straight 50 mono and 20 ft 80lb shock leader and fish them.

You did good John, those are some nice colors.

Thanks, folks! Some progress today: the Johnny Walker Black, 30W's AT handled, 501 with Lou knob and Black Pearl spool, CC / Tib 4/0 with Alan's blade and Black Pearl handle, which has more parts and as many ball bearings as the reel...machining is impeccable. Ted's matching silver clamo on back but you cant see.

My Wife can't afford my Reel Habit.

Thanks, brother. You got a box coming Friday.

Hot Damn!
I made my Reservations the other night to Shark Central.
I can only hope, the Big Black Beauty will bring it home.
If they take the bait, The Godfather will do what it was made for.
