Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Misokat, his family gets none of the reels..He will donate them all to his A.T. family right Sal??   

Guys, I'm glad that you like my reels, but I'm not too crazy about this conversation. I wasn't planning on going anywhere anytime soon.

Once again, Sal is king of the castle. Maybe Alan could start a new section just for Sal, that way I could always direct my wife to Sals page when she thinks I'm hoarding too many reels and say "see honey", this guy is a hoarder, I'm more of just an average guy.

HAHAHA

Alto Mare, thank you for posting these photos. These reels are, without a doubt beautiful. Classic Penns are my favorites by far. Here, in So. Cal., I like to fish a Penn 146 inshore during late spring & summertime. Your full Accurate 146 lists 4:1 gears. Is there/ was there a gear change kit to do this?? I'd be very interested in trying to do a ratio change to one of my reels. Thanks again for the wonderful photos..

Doraboden sorry, the gears on the 146 are 3.3 to1. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I also made a bobo on the 113h, the gears there are 3.25 to 1. The rest of the reels are good. I shouldn't have listed so many at one time. The 4:1 ratio and 5:1 ratio are in my jigmasters with the full accurate conversion. I didn't show those, I needed to hold back a bit . That 146 is one of my favorite, you don't see many today with etching on the plates and easy adjustable left bearing. I'm glad you like them. Sal
