Very nice Greg, not bad for not being a machinist. Nice to have you with us, Sal
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hey Fellas,,
Thanks for the comments and visiting my site!!

I'll tell you,, from my point of view,, it's a lot easier to fix reels than build tutorials,, !!! LOL
My hats off to those that do them regularly!! I think my web guy wanted to fire ME after this one..

I'll try and get a few pictures of the custom rods I build posted here soon..
Thanks again..
Greg

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D
