 Wow, you musta been nice all year Dom, cause my mom said naughty boys don't get cool presents for Christmas.
 I'd say you did reeeel good, and the lures are perfect as ornaments also. Good call !!
Merry Christmas !!

Look at Ted with the big act.  He's the guy who sold it to me.  He's got 6 left if anyone wants one.  Dominick

reel nice dominick, use them in the best of health,   and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.    harryk

Having a little Reel Christmas myself Dominick.
12/0 with a rare version Chromed Brass spool and a MagPower 980.
The 12/0 still needs a little work, but I'm very happy with this find.
I wish everyone the best this Holiday season.

 ..I knew I would get you to grab that Mag . yours looks in great shape, nice find.
You're going to love that reel.

Just following suit Pal.
Merry Christmas!

I purchased this from one of our members.  You all can probably guess who it was.  He's the guy that always posts photos of pristine reels.  If you can't guess I'll give you the answer in a later post on this thread.  A pristine 12/0.

Beautiful, Dominick! But there must be a mistake. I thought the Shark Hunter only bought....?

Beeeeeeeeep!  wrong not Shark Junter.  Dominick

Thankfully, the image has not been shattered.

Ha Ha, I used to have a similar 12/0, but seem to have misplaced it somewhere in California.

After showing my wife the ORCA website and hinting strongly that they have a book on reconditioning/refurbishing reels, a box arrived today from ORCA and it looks like I, too, will have a "reel" Christmas.

Congratulations!  Great reel at a great deal.

I was one of those 7.   I knew it was going to make someone happy.  Glad it went to an AT member that will appreciate it.

I Wish I could say I got a deal on all of The upgrades I ordered. might have to resort to trading some of my spare parts but, It will be a fun build.
