Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Back on a really nice Vintage Magnaflex what got stolt for $37. 

Nice pick ups John - loving the 9/0

Drew

John - Looks great...

You sir have a condition...it's called reelhoginitis...don't worry it's not contagious...but it is consuming.  It eats up money and time out in the yard...not sure if there is a cure yet...my wife is still searching as well. 

Amazing collection of users you've got there...I'd say one of those photos needs to go for photo of the month just for sheer time in building them all!

I like the silver frame!  Is it stock under the plate?

Yes, this one is stock besides carbontex kit and SS washer kit. My other black-framed one has SS sleeve. I will eventually put one in this build. With the new drags and the Tib handle you can get pretty good torque on it.

  You have some fantastic looking reels John!

Thanks, Moe. I'm just a mechanic, a not especially good one, putting the pretty lego's together that our Ohana creates. I have some issues on Peerless 9 builds yesterday, please take a look at that thread and see if you have insight.

Ohana,
And might I just add, when talking about Tom's frames that we don't forget about the  Squidder....in "green"...which might be the coolest reel I'll ever own for flying sardines....

This one? Yeah, this reel is in the top five favorites of my own. Matching bag courtesy of our man Fred.

Boy that green really pops!  Beautiful reel!

Hi John, I may be pushing 60 but am still up for adoption

I respectfully disagree, this disease is contagious as it gets!  You don't even need direct contact with a carrier.
All you have to do is read posts and look at pictures and WHAM!  You got it.

You have a beautiful collection going John and I'm sure you're not done just yet .
I like them all...good job!

Sal

Interesting rod.  A custom wrapped oldie?

John

you're lookin' into the rabbit hole, here, guys.  just sayin' take a small step back...... 

Alan, look at the usual list of the suspects here...they're ALL already toast, except Drew, who may stand a chance, but not much based on the three PM's I just got from him. Those reels have parts from you, Sal, Daron, Ted, Dan, and Drew, all on this thread, lol. And Nick, Randy, Sid and Tom haven't seen it yet...

Sal, you would be correct There's a WWO reel bag I got from Alan that's full of hot rod stuff not on rods yet.


Ted, you, sir, are being coy... I know my little collection is about 1/8 of yours.

You mean this isn't a support group?  I was wondering how my Senators kept multiplying. 

I saw this post, just carefully peeking into the rabbit hole. I finally got Thea to say, you need a better way to store your fishing stuff. I think that is as close to approval as I need for more stuff!
