Top secret Newell 500 series prototype project.......Don't tell anyone!🤣

Seriously though, not sure if these should be made from 7075 aluminum and black hard anodized or just stainless steel. Thoughts?

Beautiful Tom!
I feel like stainless will be much more durable. I love all things aluminum, but I'd be concerned about it getting bent if the rig is bouncing around on a boat.

The originals were all ss to reduce corrosion, and provide durability.

Stainless would be best as we discussed.  Yes, we loose customization with anodization but I believe durability is best.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

The 7075 is pretty tough🤔

Stainless!  It smooths out so nicely over time. Stainless also allows you to skip the process of being anodized

Stainless Steel just like the originals that Carl had made.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

SS and maybe some in black like the clickers you make. A few other sizes would be good too. I won't tell anyone.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Up here in N.Y. & N.J. area we use mostly 200 & 300 series Newell reels. It would be nice to have replacements.

PLEASE

Likely no more expensive than a used one on eBay.

Excellent point if you ever see another used one on ebay. Very rare item.

Okay, here you go!

Finished product is one piece stainless steel for the Newell 500 series reels.
The price is $40.67 each plus shipping. I'll have them up on the website soon, but I'm offering here first. I can invoice thru PayPal, just PM me your email and how many you want.

Thanks!
Tom
