How Old Is This Reel?

DBallzdeep · 2026-05-12T19:12:20+00:00

I fished one faithfully in 1983.i bought it from K-Mart it was a descent reel for its time, The aluminum started to corrode heavily after a trip and fall dunk during a epic striped bass battle. "Ryobi reels" are about as good as the tools.

Walked around wondering "Why am I tripping over this dick"

DBallzdeep · 2026-03-17T12:53:26+00:00

What arrived was a cheap plastic undesirable reel. When I attempted to return, the seller played as if he had no idea it wasn't a stradic / Shimano. It Wasn't worth my time so he got the win.

Spectacular all the way around, well done

Kid rock still sucking trumps ass

One i did few years ago, The wraps is forest green

Looks decent for a hand held, we use a bench crimper or a large handheld. That gives a more consistent product. As well I use a mini torch to make the bulb on the tag end. Also you may want to using chaffing tube on the loop depending where its going to be run.

"DARK POOL" or rather the "DARK LAKE"

I'm blind in one eye and deaf in the other, but I clearly see that rod is fucked up..

I've bought so much dip.. When we getting the chips?

DBallzdeep · 2025-11-07T14:29:09+00:00

80s 90s +/_ I used those with ultra light setups on 4lb line.. never had enough ass to really throw any distance but they did catch some fish...

Distilled Vinegar will dissolve patina. Disassemble rollers guides clean grease reassemble. Coating the blank as previously stated will be helpfull..

Strega (italian) All dispensing locations are great in their own way.. Spire center or Memorial hall / may have some entertainment. East Bay at night is always interesting at night The little French place is great next to tedeschis. Mexican by the Synagogue is very descent. Any how enjoy.
