Of all the really cool stuff Keith passed on to me, this one's probably my favorite. Some of you may recognize some of these components.

Like that color blue. The arm and star are from motive fab,the knob looks like striper Lou's work
Do what you can with that you have where you are

I'm told the knob was from Sal. But all I have to go on is what Keith told me. 99 jigmaster

Yeah Sal made a few, I'm sure Kieth is correct, wasn't much he didn't make

  The CC reels I've built don't have a lot of bling...but they were built for catfishing...which can be tough on bling. The blue 146 is mine, and the silver one is my brother's reel. They both have steel mains and 5-stack drag kits. The green extra narrow Jiggy has CC plates...and it has all the goodies under the hood. 8)

That would be out of this world!

Tom, any chance the Squidder kits will be available in orange?
I'd love to build one of your customs, but the larger ones are too big for fishing up here in north Idaho.  A sqidder would be great though!!

Chad!!!!

You just need to head more NORTH in North Idaho to Bonner's Ferry - about 1 1/2 hours north of you & fish the Kootenai River for White Sturgeon!!!  And for that a Penn 113H all blinged out would work great.

And this summer, when things warm up a bit, take your kids to Silverwood Theme park just north of Corbin Junction - a huge amusement park your children will love.

A mile north of Silverwood is the town of Athol, ID.  When last there, I texted Dominick and Gary to say "I'm in Athol today, and thinking well of them  >:D "

And on your way to Bonner's Ferry, check Sandpoint on the north coast of Lake Pend Oreille.  Plenty of ice cream shops for your kids to stop and enjoy.

LOTS of big fish fishing in your area, just need to look for them.

Good luck,

Wayne
