Very cool! Especially the way they did the spool assembly. Great pictures.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I am waiting for the Forward from a key man. Then I have to submit to the publisher and then I wait for that process. Hopefully I live long enough to see it published. It is done and on CD. I will be bothering Whitefish very soon.

Thanks for your interest Dom.

Update.
Tired of not finding a good size bookshelf at the 2nd-hand store, I broke down and bought a new one from Costco. I think one could shop exclusively at Costco if they had no hobbies they were real intense about, and live kind of a lush life. Here, they do sell sports equipment, even rod/reel rigs once and awhile and some ok paddle boards and kayaks. Some pretty good "middle of the road quality" products.

This, too fancy for me, book case weighs a lot and seems to be made of hardwood—? Not particle-board? It says: "Rubberwood solids" and down below; "Birch veneers". So, prolly some version of particle-board?
Sturdy construction too, albeit relatively soft metal nuts n' bolts.

So, now I got room for a couple more. On rods, waiting to fish, I have 14 others. Maybe get a rod-rack?, naw, I have 4 nice rods and two definite display quality pieces; An Alex Custom Baja 49'er baitcaster and an old Montague Hexagonal trolling rod. The rest are beat-em-up cheapies.

Empty boxes now fill the old book case

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Thanks!
Can someone turn the top picture?

BTW, The Daiwa BG 8000 NIB & the Penn Super Peer 309M NIB on the shelf of the old, little bookcase, are for sale. No papers for the 309; just lube, clamp assembly and tool. The BG has everything it came with + the bill of sale.

It all looks great Greg, Kim, that Alvey is possibly the one I sent to greg from Western Australia, with quite a few lures, cheers Don.

A lot of nice reels you have there.  Should be able to add a few more layers of shelves as your collection grows. Thanks for posting
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Well done, Greg! The only drawback is it leaves a reason for your better half to grimace every time she walks by. ;) I'm pretty sure, it's a gal thing you know, that you'll be prodded to dust them off quite regularly.  :D

Time to fill those open spaces, Bubba!  ;D
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
