I received a surprise in the mail yesterday from Sal and I wanted to take before pictures and after. The pictures here are before as you can see and the reel is in great shape, but I wanted to add a few things. I take pictures when I get all the parts together.

Those are great little reels.
Looks a lot like my 65
Hey Joe was that a "get well" present from Sal? Dominick
Joe, how do you like that EVA grip?...
Yes please advise; I'm doing one of my Mag 10's now and HATE the 24-160 plastic torpedo on it, since I'll be using it cast and retrieve.I'd been eying the EVA over the round aluminum ball.
Thank you Joe, its good to get opinions from others. ;)
Looking forward to seeing this all done, neat piece!
Dan, the Mag 10 would make you a great flattie or tog reel for Carolina rigging bait or bucktailing, or even light trolling applications. They are beefier than the 9 Peerless with thicker bars, stand and sleeve, have ball bearings and high speed gears that can take bigger drag, plus obvioulsy a mag control. They're stronger than equivilent Abu's but smaller than a 310 GTI in terms of castability. Some of my favorite freshwater striper reels and i used them on flounder and Spanish at the beach.
Joe that's a sweet motor but I'm more happy you are getting back in the saddle!!

Joe, that reel turned out awesome...great Job!
Wow...that little reel just looks ornery!
Did you get a chance to put the 15-10 AR dogs in it yet?
