Title: Just saying Hi
Post by: Don s. on November 17, 2014, 02:41:10 AM
Hi,
I just wanted to thank everyone for all their experience on reels and fishing. I'm from San Diego and fish and spearfish locally from my kayak and skiff.
Just recently I had a bad fracture to my foot that put me on the side lines for the last three weeks and I have serviced ten of my reels from Abu to Shimano with a lot of help from this board. Thanks.
Don

Welcome, Don --

Show us some pics of your reels & stay off of that foot until it's ready.

Best,

Fred

Welcome! Beware this site may turn you into a reel head. The addiction is reel!

Thanks,
I will get some pics of the reels.
Never new how fun it would be tearing them down and cleaning them up would be. Got another three weeks before the X-ray to see if its healed so I'm already  reading up on upgrading the drags and getting the spools to spin better.
Thank you.
Don

Here are a couple pics from this Summer.

This is my favorite setup for small light iron, on a 8' seeker inshore.(http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag379/arrowbreaker619/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20140917_092621_zpsiuqep1ni.jpeg) (http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/arrowbreaker619/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20140917_092621_zpsiuqep1ni.jpeg.html)

This is my go to for bait and iron, Grand Wave on a Seeker 8' jig stick.(http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag379/arrowbreaker619/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20141004_163746_zpsqcniu2mu.jpeg) (http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/arrowbreaker619/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20141004_163746_zpsqcniu2mu.jpeg.html)
