Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Hi Alan/all, my name is Pete I'm from Auckland NZ first time posting in this forum.
Reason for joining is to up skill myself to a point I can better maintain my reels perhaps even service my own gear eventually & equally as important to be a part of another fishing mad community.
Cheers Pete

Cheers Pete

Hello everyone,

I just got on the board wanting to know what the best thing i can do to my Avet MXJ 6/4, and there is so much info on here i just had to join in and want to continue learning and hopefully share any knowledge i learn. Just started rod building and am just about done with my first jig stick, can't wait to try it this weekend. Hopefully it holds but i'm paring it up with my MXJ to see what happens. 

Welcome Keith, Pete and Mallarig.

Hi all.  I am a new member to the site.  My name is Doug from Orange County, CA.  I found a link to this site when I was researching the Okuma Andros.  I love to fish but consider myself a newbie to fishing still.  There is so much to learn about fishing and of course the gear associated with it.  This site is so informative because you all are so willing the share your knowledge and experiences.  Thanks!!!

Thanks for joining, Doug --

Welcome!

Best,

Fred

Welcome - we are all learners -  I've been here a couple of years - still in nappies

Welcome Doug.  Although I have been repairing and upgrading reels for sometime now, I am constantly learning, and when you consider the accumulative information here, I think we are all novices as a whole, but together, we are near experts...of course there are exceptions and the exceptional.
