I like to check out "what's coming off the bench".  This post made me want to learn more about the VISX. I can easily understand the many improvements on the VSX.  Alan, the new shift mechanism looks really nice to me but what are it's advantages?  (Always curious)

the shift button is just a large fat button that's easy to press because it's hard to miss.  you can switch to low without letting go of the handle grip.  you can just bang the button with your wrist!

Mike - Alan is telling half the story - easy to downshift, but with a little effort you can also upshift from low to high just as easily while reeling by hitting the release with your thumb...john

we've all seen this. 



in the world of reel repair, if you grease all that is dry and degrease all that is greased, you will be hailed as a genius! ;D

Yup. It takes time to paint on a fine layer of grease and cover all surfaces.

I've seen less asphalt used on road repair jobs!

Seriously, that is one of the few things that I charge a little extra for — because it costs a lot to toss out ruined brushes and the extra cleaners required to get it right.

Not to mention time and effort.

And, all of your cleaning equipment requires additional time and effort before doing the next reel.

one of the main things for me is that i don't want someone opening up a reel that i've worked on and just roll their eyes.  yeah, this reel looks like a 5 year old went in with a greasy paint brush! ;D

On a positive note there is no corrosion 🙂
You know that moment when your steak is on the grill and you can already feel your mouth watering.
Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?
