Everol 14/0

[Shark Hunter]

Its just as wide as it is tall. Side plate Diameter and spool width are roughly 6 1/4".

I like pasquael   

[Shark Hunter]

Good to see you Jon.
Sorry, No Pasquael.
A reel of this size needs a fitting name. This reel is Massive and Made in Italy. Everol has always been true to their name, Not outsourced to some other country for profit. Sure its big, probably too big.
That is why I like it. It is a serious reel that fits the needs of my fishing style.
82 lbs of drag at full spool.
I think Godfather is it.

Daron

So it's a size thing

Mike

[Shark Hunter]

Line Capacity and Drag Power Mike.
So yea, that equates to a size thing.

[Dominick]

Beautiful reel there Daron.  Have you named her yet?

How about Luigi?     Pasquale?    The ever popular Lucca Brazzi?    Dominick

Alright Dominick.
Because of its Italian Birth right. It will be called the Godfather.

In the spirit of compromise I accept "Godfather."    Dominick

An 'ILSFA World Record'.

Wow though, that is an impressive catch, and that reel looks like it was definately the right tool for the job.

But, please, someone get that man a belt and harness!  That hurts just seeing that picture.

But, please, someone get that man a belt and harness!  That hurts just seeing that picture.

that was caught in June. and they don't use harnesses, they build their rods with long butts, stick them deep in the sand and fight it like in a chair. he must have been maneuvering in that pic because there's no way they'd fight them standing up.

[Shark Hunter]

The Polk Brothers don't mess around. They all fish Everol's. They fish the same area I do. I hope to meet them one day.
My Godfather arrived today. I'm not happy.
That mark on the crossbar is sticker residue. This was probably done at the pawn shop.
The reel as a whole is in great condition, but the Handle is bent. No biggie there, I always thought this handle was inadequate for a reel of this size anyway.
The reel foot is missing. This was probably done by the poor sap who pawned it.
If I can't locate a stand, its going back.

[Dominick]

Daron, I'm sorry that you ran into a problem with the Godfather.  Let's hope the part is available.  Dominick

[Shark Hunter]

That is a chance you take buying used anything. I hope I can get the stand at a good price.
The import of these reels is so restrictive.
You can go to any Everol Dealer's website. If it is out of the US. They will not ship here.
There is only one Dealer in the US.
I am awaiting his reply.

Daron,

Call Everol USA.  If they don't have what you want, they should be able to put you in touch with someone that does.  There is a guy up in New England that has a bunch of parts for these reels, but I can't seem to find his contact info right now.

I would order a reel seat, rod clamp, and 2 new lugs (1 harness, 1 rod brace).  Also, the rod brace if you don't have it.

Oversll that reel looks to be in great condition.  I would fo a preservice on it before fishing.  The parts are beefy, but there are bearings to pack, and many dissimilar metals in contact with one another that can cause electrolisis, grease will help.  Keep the drags dry though.  Also, be careful not to strip any screws when tightening, and don't loose any of the balls from the right side plate thrust bearing assembly.

[Shark Hunter]

All the clamp and brace components are there. Never been mounted. just sticker sap all over it.
I got it cleaned up. I just need that stand. That guy in new England would be a big help.
I'm sure its the same one on my 14.

You're probably thinking of Chris Martell in New York.

Hold on; i'll text msg him right now.
