Lookin' Good Mike!

beautiful collection.  worked on a couple of old pfleugers last week.  fun reels!

I love the pride in which you showed them off.  Good job.  Dominick

Thanks guys,

It is thanks to all of you on the forum getting me interested in reels in the first place, now I am on the dark path, there is no return!!

These baitcasters turned up at the right time, so to speak, my main love are the Penn's, I need to get around to building a proper cabinet for them sometime, then I can take some photos, but the good lady wants the bungalow finished first!! we will see.

She said to me a while back, ''why do you want so many reels'' I said to her ''be thankful I don't collect motorbikes

Mike.

Nice.
