Title: Cleaning Out One of the Storage Containers — Never Seen This Spool
Post by: foakes on September 03, 2023, 10:35:37 PM
Sunday is an easy day —- we went to Church in Fresno this morning, grabbed a Sandwich on the way back at Jimmy-Johns, picked up some fresh fruit from Byron at Takahashi's.

Been raining over the weekend —- decided to get some of the loose Penn spools from the storage and bring them up to the main shop.

Found mostly spinning spools —- because I got rid of about 300 conventional spools a couple of years ago.

Also found a new old maroon Bakelite spool for a Squidder Jr. 146.  This is the one with the Aero-Brake fins.  It was in a box with Penn wrapping paper inside —- and it was the wrong box.

I didn't know that these existed in the narrow 146 size.  Neat little spool.

Best, Fred
