Reel Repair by Alan Tani

How much time they spent to make a reel like this .It's amazing that most of parts seem to make by hand tool

Great looking reel, enjoy the project!
I also prefer the black/red side plates/rings.

Hope you don't ever intend to take it on a Panga

A SEVIIN GSW, Spinning reel—6000 size. Looks like it's a part of the St. Croix company. These are called "GF Casting reels; there's the GX, GS and GSW(mine, the saltwater version)models. They have one baitcaster model too. Hasn't arrived yet.

This is a weird one for me. I wanted to fill a hole in my spinner arsenal. "Why not try something new to me that I've never even heard of before?" In fact I don't even remember how I got to it. A water resistant reel for less than $200...? At least they are honest as in "water resistant" vs "water-proof". Well, I'll see. 83 parts so it ain't as complicated as a Shimano.

Has a high bearing count(oh-oh) with 2 in the spool.
Aluminum body, rotor, spool and side-plate!
Carbon and SS washer drag
6:1 gears with the main being a die cast😟(didn't elaborate on specific material) and a bronze pinion.

Feels really good in a weird way. I usually research the class of reel I want then get an oldie.

Update on 1935 Hardy Altex no.1

Working on getting flier and mechanical bail arm assembled.
Also included my micro screw hack for getting those tiny dudes in place.
Since this part is exposed to elements,  I used grease on all metal/ metal pivot and fasten points, vs. oil.

She's looking awfully shiny!

I got a 130 Greg, pm your address and I'll send it to you

Takes me that long to get inspired!

I am sorry to say that I don't have any more 130 Sailfisher complete reels but I do have some very nice parts including a set of side plates.

Quote from: Crab Pot on Today at 12:18:11 AMGot all my parts today to build my 2.5 Senator (as I'm calling it) but the inner rings were wrong.

Good news though....Jason, I found the 30-99 stand you sent me!

(Minor miracle, if you'd seen my garage you'd be impressed)

To be continued!

I'm glad. That was my only one. I figured you were the type to be able to put this one together and it wouldn't go to waste. I'm glad I guessed correctly, I was just off by a few months.

Quote from: MACflyer on May 06, 2024, 04:20:16 PMWOW! That is one gorgeous red reel. Hope to see the finished product soon. Any luck finding a reinforced eccentric jack?

thanks amigo, I found one used but in great shape a reinforced eccentric jack on my miscellaneous parts box while looking for some screws of different sizes for another reel, the 114h eccentric jack was dirty but it cleaned up really good and I used the buffer wheel a bit with the dremel to give it some shine

       I have been buying them this way for years .  It is ridicules  to buy a primmer bulb and fuel line .   Try to find diaphragm kit for the carb
