Hello everyone, my fishing season this year ended before it had even started. In February I slipped on some ice in the driveway upon landing I heard a cracking sound, at first I thought I broke a bone but what I did was tear two tendons from my rota-tor cuff. So I figure no better time to get my gear in order. I started looking into reel repair web sites and before long I was directed here. I have always done my own reel maintenance and thought I doing a good job until l I spent a few weeks as a guest reading. Wow from what I have learned already this site is going to bring me to a whole new level.
I have been gathering up reels, tools, lubricants and schematics in preparation to begin, but I just had my rota-tor surgery two days ago so as soon as my arm comes out of this sling I will be getting started. Until then thanks to you guys I still have plenty to read.
Welcome Rodmaker, I hope you get back in shape soon. I also need one of those, I've been working with it for two years now. I'm self employed, I have medical for me and my family, but can't afford disability insurance :-\. I'm doing fine, but can't lift over my head with my right arm.
Enjoy your stay.
