Hey there... new guy here from Escondido, Ca. Rebuilt my first Penn 155 before I even knew what I was doing. Just took the screws out and let the parts fall where they may! Somehow got everything back together correctly and working again. Have really enjoyed reading Alan's tutorials and using the picture by picture playbook for doing repairs and maintenance. What a feeling of success when you repair a broken reel and then go catch a big fish on it! Thanks again for the help and insight. Looking forward to joining the group here.

Aloha Andy.

You lucky guy...one of the best fisheries on the west coast. 

Welcome and enjoy the reel people of the world.

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Hey! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Just finished fixing another 113HLW. The gear sleeve was frozen on the shaft. Got everything dissembled and honed out the sleeve with 400 grit, cleaned up the shaft, re-greased and reassembled. All is well again. My son has his Progear 541 apart waiting for new drags to come in tomorrow. It's a family thing. HA!

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Well, I guess that all depends on how many shots of tequila you've had! I go a couple times a year also... mostly on the Pacific side to surf and fish and camp. Lately I've been spending time in La Bocana, a little fishing village between Bahia Asuncion and Punta Abreojos.
