Haven't seen anyone test the water yet so I thought I'd cast the first line. Enjoy! Join the party, I can't wait to see the rest.

Wow! that's a hard act to follow,Sal. Those reels are far too nice to take fishing. ;)
Sal,
They are things of great beauty, you must be very proud of them. 8)
Sweeeeeeet Sal. Sweeeeet.
Sal,
VERY NICE, GREAT COLLECTION !!!!!
Nice, very nice.
wow, museum quality stuff. guys, just so you know, the bar is not this high! ;D
I'm still working on my AT handle wrench for cry eye eye.
Wow Sal! ... you hit us with a lot at one time. I commend you on your taste and passion for "reel collecting" ... top shelf stuff ya got there, bro! ... I would certainly like to see a 9/0 with a silver frame and red accuplates added to that collection ;)
Keep it up pal,
Dom
Nice reels.
Yo Broadway, lets get those Accukits out of the boxes and put them together, so we can all enjoy them. Life is too short ;).
Coming soon Brotha! I got stripers to catch in the meanwhile ;)
I'm fixing a leak caused by crappy winterization (boat yard- next year I'm doing it myself) in the raw water line which could have sank my boat had I not seen it. It would have taken a while to do, but sometimes I can't get down to the boat for a week or so. I got the push to fit fittings today, and will do the job so I can set sail next week... yeah baby!!!!
Dom
Wow Dom, good thing you caught that. When I come up I'm going to check that boat for myself, before we head out 80 miles or so ;D.
Good luck with those strippers, I mean stripers. I heard their clock got knocked off this year, two months ago we hit 88 degreese, today high was 55 degreese :-\. Later bro.
A once over by you would be good for me, but probably cost me an arm and a leg for performing the recommended mods "Broadway" ;D ... I could actually use a fresh set of eyes and some good ideas.
The stripers don't know what to do, but I have an idea where to get them ;)
I can't wait to have ya out!
Dom
Some fine looking stuff , if u ever want to see them coverd in tuna n shark blood, send them my way,lol ps bet u have some family memebers fighting on who gets what someday .......
Misokat, his family gets none of the reels..He will donate them all to his A.T. family right Sal?? ;D
Guys, I'm glad that you like my reels, but I'm not too crazy about this conversation. I wasn't planning on going anywhere anytime soon.
Once again, Sal is king of the castle. Maybe Alan could start a new section just for Sal, that way I could always direct my wife to Sals page when she thinks I'm hoarding too many reels and say "see honey", this guy is a hoarder, I'm more of just an average guy.
HAHAHA
Alto Mare, thank you for posting these photos. These reels are, without a doubt beautiful. Classic Penns are my favorites by far. Here, in So. Cal., I like to fish a Penn 146 inshore during late spring & summertime. Your full Accurate 146 lists 4:1 gears. Is there/ was there a gear change kit to do this?? I'd be very interested in trying to do a ratio change to one of my reels. Thanks again for the wonderful photos..
Doraboden sorry, the gears on the 146 are 3.3 to1. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I also made a bobo on the 113h, the gears there are 3.25 to 1. The rest of the reels are good. I shouldn't have listed so many at one time. The 4:1 ratio and 5:1 ratio are in my jigmasters with the full accurate conversion. I didn't show those, I needed to hold back a bit ;). That 146 is one of my favorite, you don't see many today with etching on the plates and easy adjustable left bearing. I'm glad you like them. Sal

x2 - thanks Sal, you're an inspiration to us all. ;) ;D
Cheers mate, Justin
