Gary,
Agreed!

AND taking NOTHING away from the TANK.

This ProGear reel was buttery smooth, good range of drag pressure, great off-set handle,

Only downside...

was Dominick's constant yammering in my ear about this and that.

Other than that, the day was a winner!!!!

well done Wayne, I think Dominics yammering would be good advise, could stand plenty of that, great fun, thanks for showing, cheers Don.

Gary, I have one torn apart on the table right now!  I have to figure out how to cut the slots deeper in an old Penn steel gear, and then I'll start putting it back together.  I have the SS gear, 5 stack, DD bridge and one of Alan's handles.

This will be my second completed one and the one I'll fish as it's got a few experience marks. 

If I ever get to Alaska I'll beef it up to Big Butt grade like yours.

Wayne is a fly fisherman.  He knows nothing about real man fishing.  At least he knew nothing until my "yammering" made a successful salt water fisherman out of him.  He needs me by his side to bring fish in.   ::) Yammering indeed.  :D ;D Dominick

When times are tough a wingman comes in handy, even if he yammers!
