Title: Not sure what to title this so how about my Maxed Out Reels....shifters, clamps
Post by: thorhammer on February 19, 2017, 09:22:33 PM
Finally landed in NC and started installing sine hoodies that were waiting while I've been gone this month. First is my pair of broadbill specials with Ted bling on original Sabre Strokers

Black and gold bling. Nice reels John.
The shifter and handle really set it off.
Those Sabres aren't too shabby either.

I originally bought the Tib green frame and Tbar to build out Tom's plates but they are nowhere close so I got another set of silver plates for the parts. Ted and I agree, the Tib  green looked inferior to the plates and I believe I heard they stopped green parts due to difficulty in matching anodization. Point is, I had a full custom reel I didn't care for...until I put a green lever on it from Teddy Claus. Amazing how little parts like  clamps and levers can totally rock a reel. Yeah I know fish don't care but an '86  LeSabre will get you to work like a Rolls Royce will.
