The red crank knob pulls out the red flecks in the plates --

Plus the SS spool ties in well with the chrome and shiny parts -- plus makes this reel more capable.

Great eye & exceptional job.

Right on man.  I need somebody to love.  Signed the White Rabbit  :-*
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Thanks for all the compliments folks! I'm really happy with the way this reel turned out. I learned many things while noodling with it. Members' input here helped a lot.  8)

   I've been sorting through PB pics...found these shots of the plates to this reel. Figured they belong with this thread. 8)

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Mo, so cool, how in the heck do you find those colored reels. I search eBay somewhat often and all I ever see are the penn 26 reels in green for over $100.

I would love to score a colored penn!


Beautiful!

Nice Mo! You're getting good at finding treasures... good for you bad for us :)
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

That's an amazing transformation!  Maybe Daron could hook it up with a display case.  ;D

The side plates on that reel are gorgeous.
