Title: Hi from Minn
Post by: AllenW on December 14, 2011, 11:16:28 PM
Great site here, I got steered this way looking for a way to reassemble a Penn 320 GTI from when I was given the advise to just pull all the screws off the reel handle side and pull apart...
Lots of little pieces in that reel..:)

Thanks for the tutorial on the Penn reel and I've been now doing a few other bait casters with help from here.

Coming up on retirement in a year or so, hoping to get out and do a bit of Lake Superior fishing along with the smaller lakes, enjoy fishing for just about anything, but Musky's/northerns, walleyes and crappies are at the top of my list, but Trout and Salmon are gaining ground..:)

Been in HVAC/Appliance repair since the early 70's so if I can maybe help someone please feel free to ask.

Welcome Al. As a troubleshooter and fixer, this should be easy for you. 8)  Visit often, stay long.

Glad to have you aboard Al.  I guess when you talk about the smaller lakes you mean Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan and Erie?  :D Dominick

Hehe...I had something even a bit smaller than them in mind, one of our 10,000 lakes :)
But I am hoping to get over to Mich once or twice this summer.

Thanks for the welcome btw.

Welcome from your next door neighbor in Wisconsin. If I get done rewiring my boat by next summer maybe we could go troll for salmon out of Milwaukee sometime.
