Thanx much for the warm welcome everyone

Welcome Scott.
I have had your nickname before.
A couple guys I used to work with called me the Gun Runner.
Enjoy yourself here.
Lots to Learn and good people.

Welcome Scott.....Bill Sacramento Delta

Hi,

I've been taking advantage of this site for a while now so I decided to join, Happy Holidays!
I have 5-Newell (200 size) reels that I bought used over the years and have learned to service here, thanks! 
I can't afford used Newell$ anymore, so I bought 2- Shimano TLD 15 lever drags, and 2- ABU 6500C4 level winds.  Thanks to Alan's posts, and other members, I feel confident that I can service/upgrade these reels too.  I'm sure that I'll be posting plenty of questions.

I appreciate the help!

John

john, welcome!  anything you need, let us know!!!!!

Welcome, John --

Glad you are on board...

One of my favorite all time reels for Salmon fishing  is a Shimano TLD-5.

Best Always,

Fred

Good morning(afternoon for some),,,,just wanted to log in and say hi. I joined the other day, after finding the site while trying to get help on my X30-SHA frame upgrade from SoCal-Fishing-Hunting. My screenname is bhale1. My name is Brett and I live in Tucson, AZ. Most of my fishing is for Largemoith bass, and trout. Have some experience with flyfishing for trout in the 4 corners, San Juan river as well. I'm really happy I found this forum, and all the experienced,helpful people here. I was going thru some of my late father in laws fishing stuff(avid fisherman himself) the other day and found 2 Penn 155 reels. I know they aren't top of the line,but will work for what I have planned. I am going to go thru them completely, and also try and re-do the drags. Then when we do our annual San Diego trip take my daughters(who will be 11 & 13) out on the New Seaforth for a 1/2 day trip with Papa's reels. I feel I found the right group of friends if I mess something up or have questions..Thanks for having me aboard!          Brett

Welcome aboard, Brett. I'm sure you will find what you need here, we have many members with many different areas of expertise, as I think you may have found out already while surfing the site.
