Took a break from some outside building projects today —- finished up (3) reels for members.

A DAM Quick 331N, Penn 714 Greenie, and a Cardinal 4.

Heading to New Jersey, Phoenix, and Campbell, CA.

For Jess, Kal, and Dave.

Process on these is to do an initial inspection for function of all systems —- disassemble —- ultrasonically clean all parts —- burnish and polish all parts inside and out —- replace any worn or needed parts with new ones —- reassemble —- lube with modern synthetics —- replace drags, springs, anything goobered or worn —- tune & fine tune.

When every bit of rust & tarnish is removed and polished, even in the deepest hidden recesses —- what is left feels like oiled glass.

It is an honor and pleasure to be able to work on and restore these top quality spinners so that folks can enjoy fishing them for another lifetime.

Best Always, Fred

D-A-M Quick, Penn, Mitchell, and ABU/Zebco Cardinals

Very cool!

I like the coin idea, all I had here that appealed to me was a 1968 Swiss 1/2 franc I found a few years back. I popped it on the old Bretton 104 to fill the void.

Nice work  :d

I'm not always completely sold on the coin idea, but this one is a winner!

I agree, that Franc sure pulls it off very well. Ornate border paired with a low-key design looks great.
