Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Finally had time to scratch off another wish off the list!

The smaller size reels will have two sizes:
The first is 3.5" overall(pictured) and is what most consider the "Power Handle" length.
The second is a bit shorter at 2.875" and close to the stock length for the reel class.
Pictured are the Silver Arms paired with Alan's 3/0 Delrin Grip.
I've got a few colors done and just need to get them up on the website.

Looks great Tom!

 Nice !!!

wow!!!!!

   Great work Tom!!

Just got these up on the website!

Dang it I need to sell more parts now so i can buy one of these without my wife killing me

Gotta say I love the blade. Admittedly I thought it a tad short at first but after using it I'm a big fan. And the quality is second to none.

Very nice looking!
Looks like the 146 conversion, I've been dying to build myself?
After seeing how easy, the brass gear sleeves were stripped on the 2 squidders I purchased!
I've been a little hesitant, and considering going with a different reel!

That's why you switch to a stainless steel gear sleeve!
