Title: Some Squidders.
Post by: STRIPER LOU on October 16, 2017, 10:41:29 PM
I'm partial to the smaller reels like the JM 501, 27 monofils, and squidders, especially the Jr's. The squiiders with a little bit of work have some tremendous free spool and are just an all around sweet reel.

Been trying to get some of my reels organized, and all like models on the same shelves with some consistency but, just not enough time available to get it done with all the other projects going on.

Here's some custom Squidders, .... Accurate frames and plates, Tib stuff and a few with Acrylics.

And a bunch of stockers. I had never considered selling any of them but the prices they are getting on  ebay lately have me wondering. Saw some stockers recently go for over a hundred bucks and probably not as nice as the one's in my collection.

These reels are great for light bottom fishing and I've even used the for tube n worming in shallow water. Caught some stripers in the mid 30lb range and that really gives the drags a workout!

OK All, back to the lathe ........ have a great evening,  ..  Lou

Very nice Lou.

Don't sell anything!!

I did that 7 years ago and kick myself in the behind. About $3,000.00 worth of very nice reels. All the ones people want now I had. Most NIB reels.

Don't do it.

Those look great Lou! I've been tempted to pick up a 140 with newell kit but the gearing is a little slow for our style of fishing.

They are some of the most desirable reels at this time on Ebay, however like Keith said. Hang onto those!
It's really great to see how many different accessories and options out there for we tinkerers.
Great collection Lou,
Dom
