Ok I was going to say I thought I did it all
Thanx much I'm going to spool this up with
Some 130 lb braid and 100 lb for my top shot
Any idea how many yards of 130 braid this holds

Great job, Scott --

Those 10/0's are great reels -- narrow 12/0 -- and not made for a few decades now.

You have done a good job on the salt-proofing since this will likley be used in a windy sandbox (Beach) -- or as a troller.

Either way, the key is a lot of grease on any part subject to corrosion -- like you have done -- then an evacuation of all lubricants once a year, if used -- and reapplication of new greases and oils.

It will last a lifetime.

Just like changing the oil in our cars or trucks --

We can use a good synthetic oil -- and change it every 5000 miles...

Or, we can wait until the red low oil light comes on...

What is the difference? -- generally about an extra 150,000 out of the engine.

Nice work!

Best,

Fred

Looks like you got a really clean one. Nice build.

Great job. The 10/0 is a hole in my collection; one of these days.

Guys why are parts and the 10/0 in general
So hard to find and then when you do they cost
A fortune I was just wondering

The 10/0 has been out of production for over 30 years.
Everything on a 12/0 will fit except for the bars, stand and spool.
