A member sent me an old 285 Finessa for a service and restore.
Completed it yesterday -- building another DQ 110N for the same member that will also go back to him in the same box.
Best,
Fred
Wow, that's quite a transformation!

I fully agree with you Chad. Nobody can top Fred on his spinner restorations !!
Looks brand new. I see you had to replace the housing on account of a broken foot.
Completed the DQ 110N for the same member who the Finessa 285 was restored for yesterday.
Built this one out of the parts bins -- all new.
Checked for all proper functions, tested, micro-tuned, bagged and ready to go out tomorrow morning.
These are really excellent little Microlite reels for Trout, Crappie, Panfish, and Bass.
They will handle a much larger fish than they are designed for without blowing up. Just ready for the next cast after landing.
My personal best on one of these little high-speeds is a 12.2 lb German Brown that measured 30".
Best,
Fred
A brand new 110! :o
I love seeing the reels you build Fred!
Beautiful restorations.
Both reels look better than new.

Great job as always, Fred, you are inspiring!
