Finally got me a Cortez Squidder, married it to some Pro Challenger parts and Bryan Y. Ultimate 5+1 drag and here she is...
Looks great Darin! I love the CC Squidder, it's so much smaller than a stock Squidder, you can even palm the thing. With steel gears and a 5-stack it's stronger than many reels twice it's size. If I could afford it, I'd have one in every color Tom offers. One of these days I hope to get one of his Jiggy kits also. 8)

Thank you! It has the steel gears fortunately, so I'm good there. I'm thinking about 40# braid and topshot, then 30# flouro leader? I'm going to use this when we chum up the big mangrove and red snappers when offshore in 100 + feet, they come up near the surface and we free line chunks to them, it's a blast!
Beautiful reel Darin! 8)
Nice rel Darin, with the 40Lbs braid & 30 Lbs top shot it will work great, thanks for posting, cheers Don. leave some fish for us.
Sweet ! That should make those snappers sit up, and take notice !

Thanks buddy, it's the new star from PC, very well made!
It will quickly be one of your favs. If you need to slow it down use STP on the spool spindle.
Nice work Darin, black and silver always looks good - a classic cortez classic.
