Hello everyone. I live in lower Alabama, about 50 miles north of Gulf Shores and fish saltwater every chance I get. I've been looking around the place for a couple day's now and wanted to join so I could say thank you to Alan for all the information. I don't think i'll be paying to have my reels serviced anymore. Alan you sure make it easy with the pics and step by step instructions. I've already went through four of them with no problems. I think i've gotten up the nerve to try my lever drag's now.  Merry Christmas to every one, Joey

				Aloha Joey,  Welcome to the Reel source of information.  Alabama, that was one of my most memerable places to visit.  On the day I arrived, I found myself in the hospital emergency room, then upon my departure, found myself face level with a man's butt...Scotty Pippen...Man, that dude is tall.
