Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Lorcan
I have the entire booklet scanned and have straightened and cropped the first 10 pages. I had some urgent business to attend to. I should be back at it on Monday or Tuesday.

if you can get the frame, bring it down with the reel and i can switch it out for you.

Texas coast.  Matagorda Peninsula between the Colorado River and the pass near Sargent.  Here's a map.  The inset at the top shows the pass near Sargent.  I'll get on near the river, drive along the beach East to the back of the pass and work my way back West to the Colorado River.  There are some 2-tracks between the surf and the bay (to the North) that access the bay flats and lakes.  I usually get on at first light and try to be off of it at sunset.   

Is there a way on the next run to make some of the 113yts bases to fit the holes of a black 111, 112. This will revive the black 2/0 and 3/0.

If you can make bars to fit the black 2/0 and 3/0 this would be great. Don't know how much interest you will get though.

I learned the hard way that the 113yts kit doesn't exact fit the black 111/112.

These area wonderful

thanks bud,still want to setup date to come see you and respool the Seaguar threadlock 130LB

Tom,
my C4 is sooo smooth I don't think it can get better.I ain't touching it.Thanks Fred!

Here's a few more from Monday.  Surf was almost flat.  Threw some top dogs early under birds and got hammered by ladyfish.  Stayed on that for a while just for fun.  I think we threw back 10 keeper fish.  The reds came in late on 6" live mullet.  Stayed on the beach all day and caught a sunset, too.

Pulled an old "4" out of the batcave just now.

Bearing just slides off.

Here are the measurements:

Best, Fred

Haven't measured one, never felt the need to yet, but they remove easily. They pull right out of the pocket and slide right off the pinion. The toughest part is usually squeezing the retaining ring down enough to lift it out of the groove.
