Ocean City 5 pack
I just wanted another Long Key Reel to take apart and tinker with.
One seller posted 4 Long Key reels and a Narrow Spool Ocean City 109 Seattle all at the same time.
I made the opening bid on all of them,hoping to purchase the best Long Key reel and maybe snag the 109.
Lot's of watchers, but no other bids. Luckily the seller worked with me and gave me a $53 freight credit.
Average cost for each reel including freight was $33.
Long Key reels are 400, 500, 500 and 750 yds.

   You did good on that bunch .        A little clean up and knock the dents out of the one spool .

Thanks Joe.
Those are not actually dents, just some reflection in the photo. There is reflection on the chrome from the texture of the paper towels also. I am a sorry photographer.
I was actually planning on reaching out to you for help on these.
Two of the Long Key's need the plastic handles replaced, and the "Power" handle on the one is sketchy.
I have been trying to get by your place but keep blowing down Hwy 60 back and forth thru Valrico on-mission for work purposes.
I also have a rough Daiwa 8600 or 8700 that I would like for you to powdercoat and some PTFE drag washer material to give you.
Hope to see you soon.
