Thanks guys, I'm glad you got to see them. I might have to delete the pictures, I just realized that I used one of my wife's tablecloth  . Oh well.

Looks like the fancy Christmas one, too!
Don't worry Sal, we won't tell - promise...

This business of trying to keep up with Sal is stressful: He keeps coming up with new projects.
I've come to the conclusion that "the reel repair hobby-business" is 'the gift that keeps on giving'.
Kind of like a pregnant cat.

As gleaming spotless as those rings/reels are, I wouldn't mind if they were sitting on my tablecloth!

Thanks Harry! About the powder coat, Jamie (Broschro) or Dominick ( former Pescachaser ) could answer your question better than I can, they really gave those a workout ....maybe they'll chime in.

Sal I can't talk about a workout.  I use reel covers carrying the rods and reels to the boat.  I also make sure they are not being banged around in the rod holders.  So for the most part my reels have very little boat rash.  After 8 days of fishing the Tank there are no scratches on the rings, but I did not bang them so I don't know how they will hold up.  Dominick

That's the way we roll Dominick! I keep all my reels padded up too, all the way to the beach! I need to have some custom covers made for my Big Senators. I wrap them up in a T-shirt and tie the sleeves together.

Welcome back Sal, my prayers have been with you and your family!

Sal, the bling on these reels is "the business" brother  . I know you've sliped a couple of fingers through the rod clamp and wore one of these reels like a "giant ring", there pretty enough  . Ive got to talk to the coater to find out just how durable the treatment is. My fishing friends already kid me about the condition of my gear, if I pop a reel cover off on deck and expose something they may just go wild and jump overboard from all the bling (for I'll fish the reel)  . Nothing like mixing engineering and art, they make one hell of a combination!!!  Sal, we are merely shadows of your reflection Man  .

You da Man,

Leo
