Well, got back from Vegas and i was pretty good...stayed behind my table for the most part and just thinned my stuff...but I just couldn't leave this little pig behind..

Also picked up an early Templar in maroon box which Funai has forced me to sell him..I'll let him show you that one downstream.

Well John, you did a wonderful job on the clean up of that very interesting old Pflueger. What is the line capacity of that old knuckle buster?

thanks, Mike..it's a 250 yder...I think a tough size in this reel. Now, someone send me a spare Adams and one of those useless Kihogas and I'll be close to running the table on these :D

Yes, thanks to John, I've been able to prolong my addiction. I'm not much of a reel mechanic or gifted with detailng skills like JE so here's my version of "Before and After":

Before:

Good morning out there Brian:

First, your modesty isn't working. And second, your on the job training certainly IS!

Those are gorgeous reels. And I'll wager that they work as good as they look. The Pfluegers would be proud.

Jim
