Welcome from the Lone Star State .
Ask away ,if we don't know the answer we will make sumpin up that sounds reel good.
Welcome aboard. We all ask dumb questions, so don't be afraid to ask
I challenge you to ask dumber questions than me. I doubt you'll succeed. The dumber the question the better the answers it seems.
Welcome from the currently soggy sunshine State.
Greetings, jr, from Minnesota.

hello from Baja, Mex
steep learning curve, but lots of help here.
Welcome!
Welcome here from Pensacola, Florida
thanks to all for the kind welcome - appreciate it
to answer Don's questions-
I live in Michigan; my dad would take me fishing
when I was young. I appreciate the memories, the lures, fishing techniques and also still have
the 12 foot Meyers row-boat we used way back then.
My memories of the equipment he used (rod/reel)
are not as clear-he has been gone since 1990
and although I was given his fishing 'stuff'
since it wasn't connected to my memories I didn't
cherish it as I otherwise might of.
I have a Garcia Mitchell 301 that works well
and a DAM Quick 220N that I haven't used yet-
unfortunately no memory of where I got these.
Also recently purchased a DAM Quick 110N
(partially from discovering this forum and
learning about it) and like it a lot!
All 3 of these are original never serviced
and my plan is to clean and lube properly
this winter.
cheers-
Russ
Those are (3) good spinners, Russ —-
The 301 has the crank on the passenger side —- the 220N & 110N have the cranks on the driver's side. On all three of these reels, the cranks are not reversible from left to right.
There are a few simple tricks to setting these reels up properly. And if that is done —- they will outlast you and me.
For advice and any needed parts —- just let us know, I have whatever you need in the way of free advice or cheap parts.
Best, Fred
Thanks Russ, take your time & use digital photos as you strip your reels, then refer back to them as your placing them back together, make sure you have good quality screw drivers, that dont slip & scratch your reels when working, I believe that Foakes, Fred Oakes, would have the largest supply of parts for them reels in the world, & a fare man to deal with, cheers Don.
Fred-thanks so much
I will likely take you up on the offer of
some needed bits (friction washers?) and
maybe more
Don- excellent advice
I used to say 'I thought I would remember...'
but now I just leave that off my story and realize
I will not
thanks guys!
