   That spacer comes with the PC kit...I think...I know I didn't buy it separately.

   I'm gonna catfish it Wayne...hopefully...it still hasn't been wet yet! I spooled it with 40lb. mono and did some test casting with a 4oz. sinker, it tossed very well.

No, the spacer did not come with the kit. I think it is from Tom or Ted.

Wow Mo, that is the perfect reel.  I always feel like i'm late to the game.  I would love to have a reel exactly like that.  Nice build!!!!

I'm thinking it's a long-shot for me to get the frame and spool to do a build right now?  Got some free time on my hands due to this lockdown.

Somethin I noticed this time around Mo. In the 1st pic., 1st thread post, the pinion looks like it's missing one a the "shoulders" that engages the spool. Optical illusion?
Oh man! I think  I've been SIP too long...
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

   Good grief G...now ya got me thinkin' it's missing...it sure does look like it! It has to be an optical illusion because the thing works fine. I'm fighting the urge to open the reel now. :D

Very unique reel. 

At first glance l thought it was a broken pinion too, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

mo65

   Curiosity killed the cat...it made Mo open his reel too.:D  Oh well, we can all sleep better now. This pic is a little better angle, it shows the pinion is fine. Carry on...8)
