With some assistans these items made the transatlantic trip. And I'm now a greatful owner of a Tail-lite devon, Alcedo Micron and, as a bonus, Daiwa ag1605xb.
The little lure marketed as:
"The finest of all devons", will obviously bring great catches...Markus

Markus the Alcedo was wrapped so well I did not open it to take a look, so I'm glad you are happy with it. The bonus reel is from the "pay it forward" philosophy of the Ohana family. I'm glad the package finally arrived. Have fun and post some photos of fish when the weather permits. Dominick
Good job Dominick! ;)

Good stuff man, this place is global!
thats OHANA for you Markus enjoy, good stuff Dom, cheers Don.
Those Microns are nice little ultra-lites! I'm sure you will enjoy it if to decide to fish it. They're a tricky reel to take completely apart so be careful, go slow & take lots of pictures along the way. This is a 2CS but basically the same process.

Yes, it's the most diffucult reel i've messed with so far. This was just supposed to be a backup reel (actually there's three in my custody now).
Did not had the curage to take the ball bearing apart.
Had a lot of trouble with the bail spring so a got a new one from a guy in new jersey, i've read somewhere that it eats a lot of bail spring.
Maybe I'll cut the bail on one.
Interesting, there are some variations in the models. Some got a oil hole for the driver gear, some does not. Different ways of attaching the medallion. And some varioations to the bail screw. And the drag click mechanism are different.
Guess it would be fun to interpret the serial number and get them dated.
Nice detail is the fabric that's wrapped around the spool, guess it's there so hinder dirt from going under the spool. Markus
