Hey everyone,
THE PERSON WHO BUYS THIS REEL WILL SEND THE MONEY TO ALAN TANI FOR BRYAN'S FAMILY. I WILL BE TAKING NO PAYMENT FOR THIS REEL.
I have a Mag Power 970 that was fully cleaned and greased a few years ago. I bought it off of someone on Ebay.
I put in a stainless gear sleeve, a real 4/0 handle, and put a layer of clear epoxy on the spool where the finish was worn.
I have never used this reel since I bought it and upgraded it.
The stainless sleeve and the handle alone are worth more than the reel based on Ebay prices.
If anyone wants pics of the reel, please PM me and/or make an offer.
I would rather see this reel used by someone.
Eugene
eugene, thank you. i will forward kehli's zelle/paypal info.
Eugene, that's a really solid move on your part! :al
Thank you.
VERY COOL! Definitely Bryans type of reel too
I confess I never heard of one of these reels so I did some research. Kinda rare- none for sale on Ebay right now, only four sold over the last few months. They dont go cheap. Apparently Sal was really impressed with these- https://alantani.com/index.php/topic,10273.0.html They must cast pretty good https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/31070766688.jpg
Oh so tempting....
Eugene, thank you. A real Ohana move! Bill
Anyone interested.....
"make an offer" is tricky. Especially to a good cause. You'd think it would be less so, but history has shown otherwise. That's why Alan and team went and just set some prices on the boxes they're trying to clear out.
Your heart is in the right place. And we all appreciate it.
Post some pics and let it linger for a bit. These reels are rare and it will take time for the right person to come along. They go for over $200 on ebay and dont come up very often
:cf I have no interest in this reel , but this what I will do . I will put up a hundred , anybody who wants this reel , put a cherry on top and go for it .
Allen PM your address when you get a chance .
Thanks Joe.
Eugene
i'll send you a pm with kehli's address. thanks!!!!
Please someone say they want this reel.
It is for a good cause.
Eugene
Just to be clear ,I am sending money direct to Kehi . Whoever wants this reel for what ever you want to spend " the cherry on top " Go for it . You will deal with Eugene or Allen to complete the transaction . Just trying to take the awkwardness out of the mix . It`s for a good cause ..

You're a good man Joe.
If I didn't have one already, I'd match your offer.

I've already contributed to the cause, but I have my eye on some items that aren't moving. 8)
Someone make an offer. The reel needs a new home. If I knew how to put up pics, I would have already.
Eugene
If nobody jumps on this ,in a week or so , I will take it and give it to one of my younger brothers ..
Perfect, let me know.
Thanks Joe
SOLD.
Joe is getting the reel. I will be sending it out to him this weekend.
Thanks Joe.
Joe,
I will get the reel out on Monday.
I was at the hospital this morning with my father and won't be able to get to UPS.
Sorry for the delay.
Eugene
:) No problem . Take care of father first . There is no rush here ..
gentlemen, thank you, all!!!!
First off Thank You Eugene for doing this ...
The reel came in today , all I can say is Holy smokes Y`all fell asleep behind this reel .
There is not a mark or pit or scratch on this reel ...
Again Thank you , I see you are Brooklyn boy also .. This reel is going back to Howard Beach with my brother .
I would have bought it if I didn't already have one. But I sure as heck thought about it.
That thing deserves a steel sleeve. So don't send it out til I get one to you.
now with the reel in a new home I can say I also had thoughts about getting it specially with the offer from Joe, but I already have many good reels from the ohana that I preferred to see this reel going to another member.
:fish

According to the first post it has a stainless steel sleeve in it .. Thanks for the offer though .
Gorgeous. Thank you, all!!!
Joe, I am glad you are happy and the reel is going to have a good home.
The reel has a stainless sleeve.
Yes, I am a Brooklyn guy, I probably have seen your brother fishing in Sheepshead Bay.
