At least he has a fishery that can give that gear some exercise.

So glad there's more of us out there. Since this post I think I got 10 more. Plus maybe 20 Stan Gibbs older plugs. I love the history and the idea of the days when fishing was more pure. Social media has taken so much. But owning and collecting reels from the 30s to 80s, you get lost wondering about the stories they can tell.

Worked on these Luxors this weekend. Original manual pick ups. Ultralite and mid sized supreme model. The ultralite was missing the screw and line roller. So I fit a Penn 710 greenie roller and modified the bail wire.

This. Welcome Doug, I missed you coming aboard I guess.

I picked on Ted about building out a spool,  but a bunch of reels I have are because Ted sent me a custom handle or cross bars / seat....
