Some Pro Gears.

[STRIPER LOU]

I like these old Pro's. Yes, they have some corrosion issues, but, they are compact reels with large gear trains. There are 454's, 440's, 541's 545's 251's and 255's here. I'm still looking for a nice purple 545 and I know where there's one with a clicker.

I've gotten a few other reels from this gentleman and hopefully he'll part with it when he's ready! Two reels I received from him were brand new in the box. From what I can gather he has a few hard to find and possibly some one of a kind colors.

With the Alan Tani lube job, upgraded drags, and DD'S they're tough to beat. A very light coat of grease where the head plate meets the frame is advisable. Once the reel is assembled I like to push a coat of grease where the head plate meets the frame and wipe off any excess. This creates a good barrier for salt intrusion.

If anyone should know of a nice 545 in purple, please send them my way.

All have a great evening,  ..  Lou

Now I know where all the Pro Gear's are... in good hands with Lou.
Beautiful collection, pal. Certainly one to be proud of.
A few of Ted's soon to be released handles and they'll be all dressed for the party.
Thanks for showing us how it's done,

Well, I'd say you can never have too many pro gear reels. Obviously Lou already knew that long ago. Too bad they didnt make more red, green and blue.

Fantastic collection, Lou.  I have a 545 and love it.  Id like to get more, but weighing the going cost vs some of the modern reels with warranty makes it a hard decision.
