That sounds right, Justin...I can think of some ways to deal with that, but auto would be the best.

Here's another pic.

The pics Brendon showed are of a manual fly reel-okay storage but NOT the same critter.

 

[Burnham]

I actually have one of those older auto retreive fly casting reels. But I inheirited it from my father and just can't bring myself to mess with it .

 

[Stumper]

Save that one and spend 10 or 15 bucks on Ebay for someone else's grandfather's reel. Some people have no heirs other's have ingrate children/grandchildren.

Thanks for the education Justin. I'd definitely like to try that out sometime. I'm guessing I'll have a hard time finding one of those reels in Hong Kong, so I'll wait on it until I'm back in the States this summer. Be ready for more questions then!

Exact same setup I been using for years. Though mine is a Phulger. The original pillers and screws long since fell out and have been replaced with off the shelf parts from the hardware store.

I'm surprised the frame has held up this long without being bent. It holds just a little over 60 feet of zing-it. Plenty good for up in the tree.

You're up early, Jerry!

 

[gf beranek]

3 o'clock is about normal for me. Was hoping I'd get out of the house today and go shoot some video, but it looks like I'll be stuck in doors.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yeah, it looks like you're getting a bit of rain there.

 

[gf beranek]

There be snow at around 2,000 feet. It may drop down to sea level if it gets much colder.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, and I almost need to crank my AC.

 

[gf beranek]

No kidding? And it's like 70 degrees in Kansas. Tornado warnings abound.

 

[No_Bivy]

3 o'clock is about normal for me.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's kinda early for me, too.

 

[SkwerI]

But that's just 6am Eastern time zone, I can dig it. Fire up the coffee pot, I'm right there with ya!

 

[Tree Machine]

Click, click.

Can anybody hear me?



Hah-looooooooooo........

Mind if I pull up and have a beer?

 

[GASoline71]

[Tree Machine]

[SkwerI]

What the Hell took you so long?

I'm on vacation, not supposed to be hiding from my family behind the computer.

 

[Tree Machine]

But I'd be happy to have a brew and hang with you for awhile.

Hobby Climber, how bout one of those luscious cold Canadians?

 

[Tree Machine]

WooHoo. Thanks, dude!
