Reel Repair by Alan Tani

In my opinion lots of glow is not natural and plain jane Eddy Bombs support this.  a few small dots might be ok.

Customer wants heavier brake collars for his Daiwa Saltiga 40H.  Wondering if anyone knows where I might get some.  Probably after market  I come up short on any searches for them.   

Thanks, Steve

I was going to clone this version and paint it in glow white for my August 4 day.

I'm getting excited. It's going to be a busy month.  The wife has a fundraising benefit for Teen Challenge. Then we celebrate her birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary.  I still need to make space in the freezer, just in case 😉.  I still need to pick up 1 rod.

Certainly Mepps has to be fairly high up on the quirky list, moreso the Super Meca, but I don't have one of those yet, so I've posted my 1936 Baby Vamp and 1950..ish Super Vamp,

Here's the Super Meca breakdown. It's quite an interesting reel to dig into. 

 Sounds to me like you don't need to hop on a charter boat. Good call on that !!

 Also good to hear from you Mike. It's been a while since you've posted, and hope you have a great season chasing cats

Have a couple, new —-

$8 each + $5 shipping.

Best, Fred

I also forgot another member forget who got me started on Liquid mask.I got a quart at lowes on clearance & will probably go bad before i use it all,better than vaseline.I would dab the Mitchell etching with it then wipe off the excess.The etching will be masked then pick out with skewer.

If you have a couple of these around you'd like to sell, pls PM me.  It's the silent dog with the clip that makes contact with the ratchet.
Thanks.

Blackfish season is closed until Autumn so it's time to get it clean and do some upgrades. A good buddy gave me a green power handle and some suggestions from here. I am getting ready to take it apart.
