Title: B-day score...!
Post by: Aiala on March 06, 2016, 04:20:25 PM
Well, even though I'll be getting some other cool gifts (wait'll you see!) a gal's always entitled to treat herself to a birthday present, sooo...

MUCH better than shoes, or jewelry, or another purse I don't need!

Happy Birthday to me!!   :)  ;)  :D  ;D

Thanks, guys, for all the kind wishes... you all rock!! Being a "lady of a certain age" isn't so terrible when I get to hang out with such a terrific group of totally cool gentlemen. I'm looking forward with great anticipation to a splendid summer of fishing and I wish everyone good luck and tight lines!   :)

Look what my father got me! Of course I must publicly express HUGE sincere thanks to Dwight (Newell Nut) who graciously agreed to part with this BNIB iconic angling treasure from his private collection:

(http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah207/ladyaialaAiala/P1000816_zps5pgqfqzt.jpg)

This gem will definitely NOT be a shelfie; the late great Carl Newell made it to be fished, and so it shall be. Cannot wait until June... Alijos or bust!!  :D  ;D

That is a nice reel and a great gift.

Is it just me, or does the handle arm seem longer than usual? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Happy Birthday..!!

Those are some fine reels. I wish I knew you were looking for the 113 metal. I have some that have never had the box opened. It would have been a special price just for you.
