Wow! Can you even tell what it is??

Fred, of course, really could make it look better than new.  :D

I seriously thought about it but it looked pretty cool on the guy's wall so I let it be.  I do have one of my own I hope to post soon if I can figure out where one more piece goes. Curiously we do not have a tutorial or schematic on Slsh 30 that I could find and I have one piece of jack I can't cipher out.

That's outrageously cool Thor


I have a 113H down there somewhere that likely looks similar to this.  :o :o

There are a couple of hundred guys on Alan's site, that could handle this, Rowdy...

And you could too!

This is no hill for a mountain-climber.

Tremendous amount of knowledge and skill on this site.

I am continually in awe -- and it just keeps getting better.

Best,

Fred

QuoteHey Alan, I tried to post this video I shot on the 'Challenge For Fred' thread....it's an SS pulled up by  the same shrimper; I tried to get it for a great' before and after' pic but he wouldn't budge. Nonetheless, the reel had grown-man barnacles and yet reeled smoothly after that long underneat; appears just to need bail cleaning functionally. I'm planning on showing it to the Penn guys at may visit. Can you post it for me?

Thanks!

John


got it!

Don't underestimate the power of Fred.
I see it is an ssg model. The Chinese version of the tried and true penn ss series.
There is no comparison, but I still bet Fred could make it like new. ;)
