The pictures are of five reels that were upgraded by me over a year or so, one to go a Squider in a week or two.

Nice Reels Joe!

beautiful rod buddy, looks like something Bob Marley would use a rasta rod ;D ;D
liking the colors and the butt section
I have a few more on the Rod lathe. Normal Guide setup for spinning outfit.

Beautiful work, Joe!

Nice. Love those inlays in the handle. Really high quality work. Is that an alps reel seat? Really sharp looking. Which reel is going on it?
Please scatter some stuff around your work surfaces so you don't make us all look bad
Nice group of reels. Looks like a lot of contributors from here. I bet it's hard to pick a favorite
That's some sweet work Joe! Love the rod, very clean..
Those are some nice looking custom reels.

The cork I maid out of stacking assorted cork rings. The reel seat is an Alps. The reel that is going on that rod is the silver Newel that is on the bench last one on the right.

The 112H?
Joe
Love to see the Newell on it. Is it a 300 or 400 series? Haven't had a chance to fish the 400's yet but soon!

I took these pictures of the Newell on the rod and the 112h as well. The Newell is a 300 series.
Joe
Very nice. They both look good on that rod. Think you need a matching rod. 😀😀
