Here's something you don't see every day Tumwater #900

[Paul Roberts]

This is an amazing thread. I once fished with a couple guys named Dizzy and Peewee under a falls and hooked a Falstaff beer can while using a Tumwater reel. That day was going to be the start of my YT vlog but I couldn't stand the sound of my voice.    

Definitely a cool reel. Looks Italian on the outside. The internals remind me of the Roddy 910.

Paul, that was a great synopsis.  These threads do tend to take on a life of their own sometimes and it's refreshing.

Yes. This was a fun, and interesting, thread. Enjoyed it.

Would you look at that, a Tum Water 860 for sale?  $100 is too much for what amounts to a novelty for me.

Going out to store to look for some beer...

Good grief, there is a 900 and an 860 on that big auction site this week...for very little money.  Do I or don't I? Somebody painted the 900 a terrible gold color but the 860 is clean and low dollars.

I bought the 860 just so I can say I have the whole set.

Sorry, back to beer. Something I always wondered about; blindfold a lover of common American domestic beer, set out several different popular brands for him to taste; could he tell which ones were which? Would he be able to pick-out his favorite? Just wondering, cause they taste the same to me...

Funny you mention that. I rarely drink beer but most "water beers" like Miller Lite and Bud Light taste similar to me, once you get into heavier stuff it's all over the map. Thankfully I tend to stick with distilled beverages.
