Hello from the great lakes.

[morrison.inc]

Hi fellas, Im new here, my name is Brandon. I live in Northeast Ohio, just under Lake Erie. I was taught a bit about reel repair and a lot about fishing as a boy, but kind of lost touch during high school and college. I have gotten really gotten back into it the past 3 years. It actually kind of runs in my family, my grandfather was a great lakes fisherman, and so was my great great grandfather and his brothers. They were the ones who who started Pflueger fishing tackle in 1881 here in Akron, Ohio. The originators of the first luminescent bait! Lots of their original equipment is still held onto by our family. I believe the company is owned by Shakespeare today.
I fish Lake Erie and some inland lakes around here for walleye. Trolling usually puts most of the fish in the boat, but it doesnt beat jigging/casting for them. I have 8 Shimano Tekota 500LC reels i use for trolling, which is kind of what led me here as i was looking for breakdown and greasing/oiling info.
I love Shimano reels. They never cease to impress me. I have a Stradic 1000FH and a Stradic 2500 Ci4 as well. I have a couple Sedona 500 that i use for ice fishing.
This is a great site, and im glad to be a part of it. Look forward to meeting you guys!

Welcome Brandon. Wow, very interesting family background. Would love to see those collections held by the family. There are surely treasures in all realms, ESP segmental treasures knowing that your great great grand dad made it.

Welcome aboard Brandon. Pflueger made some great reels. My first surf casting reel was a Pflueger Sea King bought new back in the 50's.

When I was a kid growing up in the 70's a  Pflueger Medalist was The  fly reel to have, but I could never afford one.  My son is going to college in Canton.
