DIY Reel Repair/drag upgrades Seminar this Sat 7/16 @

what I didn't add was that Alan had to make it a trade, he wouldn't just take thr reels. Gave me a power handle and stuff to up grade drag, washers and grease and wouldn't take a penny

Forgot to mention - nice to meet you as well, Fishing Addict!

Nice to see you too! plus Martin, Adam and Ben.  Sorry if missed anybody.  I had 3 reels services; Penn 5500, Shimano Curado 300 and Curado 200.  Ran out of time on my Luna 300.  I was there from 9:30 AM  to 1pM.
I was pretty amazed what saltwater did inside my Curado 300 after one fishing season.  Special thanks to Alan Tani and the 2 other guys he brought along (met Brian) for doing this reel clinic.

Cheers,

Mel

We had Jim (forgot his last name) helping us out at our table.

Great guy.

Wish I could have made it    Dont even know how to oil them things    Hopefully next time

Al, I'm with you on that.  When my reel was taken apart, I think there were more parts on the table than in my watch.  I had no idea, there were so many things to do to a reel but Alan and the crew made it happen with ease.  I'm gonna make sure I don't miss his next one because I'm sure one of my reels will need work by then.

+1. I've NEVER taken apart any of my reels. This was the perfect setting for popping my cherry, 'cause Jim bailed me out more than once.
