BUT JOEL, DOES IT WORK?

NO..well.... kinda- I mean I turn handle and spool spins, free-spool works. But it easily could be made to fish.  Right now only held together with the one screw that actually lined up. I wont be drilling/tapping any of these plates/frames- might make my own soon enough.

This could be a very sweet little reel.

Do you have a 10 you could try this with?

The 10 is smaller, 209-210 is like 109-10.  I'll see if a 10 matches up with a 100 but I think there are more holes in the LW reel.

Joel,

I think you may be thinking of the Progear 255.

All frankenreels are cool, but isn't that now functionally a narrow jigmaster?

Joel, that looks vaguely familiar. Good luck with that one. A true Frankin reel.

Joel, I admire your imagination and would love to see the Squidder pushed to new performance levels.  /Joe
