Hello everyone

[CDShaddock]

Good morning everyone.  I am a mechanically disinclined lover of fishing.  I found this site after being fed up with being fed up with having great fishing equipment but no idea how it works or how to fix it beyond replacement.  I picked up a few oldies for a smile and have decided to rebuild them from the ground up so that I would have an intimate understanding of how they work and how to repair them. 

I picked up a Jigmaster 501, Penn 3/0, Penn 722, and Penn 720.  Fair warning I have less than zero mechanical prowess so I may ask for very basic explanations of terms, procedures, and a lot of "Why does that work?"

I would like to thank everyone for knowledge I have already gained.
