What a great trip!  Everyone was terrific, made a bunch of new friends.  It was great to meet and fish with you Scott!  See ya next year!

Thank you Jeff, it was great fishing with you too, and next year I will remember to bring my purse to match my purple MXJ...lol

Thank you again for the motion sickness patch, saved me from Thursday night to home port!!!

Thanks Warren, serves my vanity.

Pretty cool "tanker" that Sal and Alan put together for the trip, a few people tried to pry it from my hands.

I cannot lie, I had my eye on it and wanted to win it when the prize pool was first announced. Now my 113H "tank" has a big brother.

That is a Nice reel buddy. Sal built it, so I would rest easy, that baby has the best of everything.

actually, joey put it together so it's not fully tanked, but pretty close.  sal donated the gear set last year but i was not able to get this reel done in time.  it's got a single dog, but will still deliver enough drag to test a big man like scotty!
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

I won a Penn Squall 15 and a matching Penn rod in the drawing.  I traded it to Mike for the 99'd Jigmaster he won in the bucket challege after Randy donated it back to the pot.
I now have a 114h with a Tib frame, a Topless YTS and a Jigmaster. I'll probably add the stainless double dogged bridge and Bryan's souped up drag stack to 'Tank' it out.

Hey, Sunday, don't forget to check those drags on that tld 15/30 they seemed a little sketchy to me. You know when we first started messing with drags back in the 70's or 80's Ronnie on the Legacy showed me shimano white drags and shimano grease, cut down to fit into my newells, were considered smoother than ht-100's, they just needed more maintenance. We used to stick the washers into the grease and let it soak through. This was the best we had at the time. I noticed a little jerkiness in one of my reels recently, opened it up and low and behold white washers still in there after all these years! Of course I changed them out to carbon fiber, but I tell you, if I just greased up those white shimanos, they'd be ok! Just sayin.

What? No delrin in that 15/30?  ;D

Nice reel Scott. I hope you can put it to a life time of good use.

Hamachi

Those newells had these hard, hard, hard, Formica like washers sanded with very coarse which seemed like 40 grit even under gear washer. Very reliable but had shortcomings. Get burned once by a seal and it was over. Don't get me started on delrin, Wai you know how I feel.

I will be checking them soon, going to breakdown all the reels and perform a service. Thanks for looking out Warren.

As Alan mentioned, regarding some jerkiness, it may be the guides on the rod that caused the stutter and jerk. I will also do some static test wwith other reels on the same rod and vice versa,  see what the results come out to.
