Title: Speed master 12II

Just got done servicing this reel for the first time and, wow, lots of itty bitty parts.  It was a challenge for my crummy vision and clumsy fingers.

I'm kinda surprised that I got it all back together.  Seems to operate fine. I need to test it out on some yellowtail.

I got an 8 size, a month ago. For a Shimano, it wasn't near as complicated(pre-saltwater service)as one of their mid-high end spinners. Not that I'm good with reel rebuilding, I just go real slow, with a lot of redo's. Used it once, no big'uns for a good test. I think it will be a good, relatively inexpensive, 2-speed LD.
