Over the past few months, I have been working on this load of mostly eBay specials for a family up in Oregon —- in between other servicing and reel jobs —- so that the cost would be as low as possible.

They belonged to a brother/son/husband/father who passed on.

The family wanted these restored so that anyone in the family could have a remembrance of what he cherished as a hobby.

All ready to fish, some new parts, fully disassembled, all parts polished inside & out, serviced, adjusted, micro-tuned.

The black DAM Quicks received new oven-baked wrinkle paint.

Quality reels from the Golden Age of Spinning Reels.

Nice work as always.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
