Title: Happy Birthday to me!!
Post by: Padre on March 08, 2015, 11:51:45 PM
Yep. My bride came through. She's the best!!

The handle and arm are a little rough looking, but it's otherwise in fantastic shape. The inside is pristine!

I definitely want a larger handle and different arm. I take it this Accurate stainless arm - http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11776.msg114385#msg114385 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11776.msg114385#msg114385) - is no longer available? What would y'all suggest?

Can't wait to get this rigged up and out on the water! Need it to warm up a bit still, though. Georgia fish don't come inshore in the temps.

Thanks! Mine is actually tomorrow, but with three kids week nights are hectic, so we celebrated tonight. :)

Very nice!  I suggest a Penn 24-56 power handle as an easy replacement.

Happy Birthday.  That's one nice reel you got there.

That arm is actually Aluminum, and they are nice, but worry about corrosion.
