Title: Thank YOU Randy for a Great Reel Frame & Spool!
Post by: El Pescador on January 15, 2018, 12:04:39 AM
Thank YOU Randy for the perfect find - a Tiburon 114H Narrow RED Frame & Spool.

I wanted this Tib 114H Narrow frame for a Wahoo Reel I'll use in Los Cabos this fall.

And not wanting to spend lots of time on eBay or CL, I contact Randy and I have to say the man lives on email and was very quick in all his responses back to me.

Told him what I was looking to purchase, and this is what had for me!  A Cherry Red Tib 114H Narrow frame and spool - and the spool is SPOTLESS not a mark on it!

We quickly agreed to a price and he held on the shipping until I returned off a 16 day vacation.

When the package arrived, it was packed as though Harry Houdini himself, could not excape from this package.  Randy had the reel and spool both wrapped in bubble wrap and the frame was locked inside the box with L Sections of styrofoam.  Seriously, If this reel selling business does not pan out, you can always work at FedEx in the shipping dept.!!!!!!!   Best wrap job EVER!

Anyhow, thanks again, I am very happy with the process and here are a few photos of my new find!

Gorgeous kit, and second the comments about the care taken with packaging of parts!
Australian tackle peddlers need to take note of the service quality on display here.

Wayne, that's my favorite reel. I got a black one last year from Randy. It's more narrow is person than the picture shows.
