Went to Mike's, from HawgTech,   last night. After installing the level wind bearing on the Zillion, I decided it needed something else. Swept handle with some blue accents sounded good. Also a few pics of my others.






My wife says she is gonna leave me if I go fishing one more time........lord how I will miss that woman.

Nice!!!

I'm impressed with the old silver bantams... I wish I'd have kept a couple of the ones I used to own. That photo is a great time line.

I am actually on a kick to collect older Shimano reels. Even the POS ones. I just want to make some kind of weird collection.

OK, I'm drooling and breathing heavy here.  I do like the way the coastal came out, but then I'm kind of partial to blue, reels, line, water, the whole thing.   ~roflmao

I've been collecting Penn reels, but not getting very far with it, most of em are being fished.  ~b~  They will be collectables when the grand kids are my age.  lo

That is a hoot. I didn't even know Shimano ever made a spin-cast reel. Too cool. Thanks for sharing that one.  :)

No problem. I've been close to calling about it just for the odd/cool factor!

Well my porn is a little different I guess.

This is my second Expensive reel that I have ever bought. A 6500 Penn Spinfisher V, Bail Less.  Oh man I'm panting as I type this, can't wait until I can get better enough to cast it.



I picked up a few other Penns, and an Ambassador C3, trying to upgrade my reels while I am able to. I've been pretty set bait caster wise for a while since I tried to get affordable, better grade reels from the get out.
