Nicely done. The Baymaster has the clutch lever right in the middle of the side plate so it's perfect for your project.

Put my little Penn 180 project to work today, and it performed admirably! Was on the kayak and a little short on time, but caught a 27" ling cod and a couple rockfish. Very happy with this little reel!

Great pictures. I dream of calm seas like that. I get 'em maybe twice/year.

Thanks!

Those conditions are hard to come by around here too, at least at that specific spot. Was a pretty good day!

Really looking forward to getting a few trips in with setup - I really liked it!
