Hi all,
John from Garden Grove, to share my Newell projects addiction.
I been working on this reel clamp about 6 months and things are coming along pretty well. Just finished the mold and here are the parts.
Feel free to pick my brain, with any questions you have.
John
Nice work, John!
Injection molding?
Best,
Fred
Like the hook retainer in the trigger grip.
looks really nice. once you get the prices settled, feel free to post it in the "for sale" section. it looks like a great product. is it going to be reinforced like the stock newel clamps?
Welcome John!...those look nice.
Sal

Thank you, Yes, Mold it is was the only way to go. Expensive, but worth it.

Thank you Alan, I'm working on the sales side part time aside from my other projects. Glass filled nylon 66 - which is used in heavy sports equipment. the load is spread out by 6 folds to remove screw load.

Hi Swami, Yes, testing the market to introduce the new clamp for deckhand style rods. Now East coast guys are asking for another flavor of the clamp and it is in progress. I will be hitting the landing giving some away for exposure to Newell reels and Daiwa as well. I'm trying to get in the fredhall Show in long beach.
John
That looks very cool,,,, ;D
Very cool, John!
that rod clamp look reall nice.
do you have any other projetcs going on?
Nice work. ;)
I think those will sell like hotcakes ay the Fred Hall Show.
Hi Gang,
Thanks for the positive input. I'm still trying to setup a table late in the game for Fredhall, it has been very busy.
I drafted this flyer for the local tackle shops to answer some questions and compatibility. also, anti rotation feature in the clamp; this also keys the clamp to the rod so you do not need to realign your rod after cleaning, see photo.
I will doing a special on the clamps - 3 for $40 with Newell hardware. while supplies last.
I will post this in the For sale section this weekend. Stay tuned.

Im modifying a few of these clamps this weekend for the penn acorn 10-24 nut.
They will be for the Fathom reels, and can be used where the penn 113 clamp fits.
I will post pics when ready. Definitely doable ....
John
The clamps look nice. Especially the hook keeper.
