Reel Repair by Alan Tani

when bryan young passed away, he left a whole bunch of stuff. i'm trying to sort through it and it's going to be a nightmare, but it has to be done.  i'm going to start listing things here.  i'm taking care of any shipping myself, so everything is going via snail mail.  all payments will go directly to his wife, kehli akagi. 

if you see anything that would work for you, please consider a purchase.  just say, "i'll take it" and send me a pm with your name, full mailing address and cell number.  i'll get kehli's zelle info to you and you can pay her directly.  i'll take care of shipping.  the family would really appreciate your support.  thanks!  alan

I'm so sorry to hear about Bryan and will be watching for the listings.

thanks!!!!

I've always wanted a Bryan Young Jigmaster.  8)

Tall order, I would be interested in Jerry Downie Newell reels/parts if he had any.

I will be looking at the listings too.

  If you come across a Pro Gear 545, 540, or CS625, please let me know.

I got a sneak peak of his gear.  WOW!  If you are a Newell fanatic I know there is something for you.  Bill

I think Bryan bought up a major Newell parts supply 2 years ago but I was not there when they finalized the deal.  I did however get to slobber on what was most likely the largest collection of Newell reels and parts in our country.

As in Jerry Downe-Reelman's parts? Wow! I wanted to buy his narrowing jig and parts but someone swooped in and bought it.

Walk and grace Bryan and Jerry.

Yup, I was lucky to meet him and we talked for hours.

Going through everything.

Lee Putman is here.

And Bill Barella.

Juan Lezama just got here.

no better hands to search on BY arsenal

Good to see some smiling faces for what I am sure is a somber undertaking. My hats off to you gentleman.

Took 3 of us 20 hours to sort, catalog and box everything. Bill

Alan,

If that Penn rod holder is available, I'd like to buy it.

Thanks,

Steve

It is on loan and not part of Bryan's things.

This is very good of you Alan.  Good luck.
