I have one of those that nice, but I have also bought reels from him before, and have always been happy.
BTW, he's the first one that taught me about the dilute vinegar bath several years ago - sorry I don't remember his name offhand, but probably have his e-mail filed away on my office computer.
RICHARD THOMNSON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HE IS A GOOD ONE FOR SENDING SOMETHING EXTRA WHEN YOU BUY FROM HIM. WATCH HIS AUCTIONS. HE MAY BE SELLING SOME NICE STUFF.
Sorry for shouting!

Rich is a former ORCA member who attended the ORCA show with his dad in Dowagiac. I emailed him as soon as I saw some of his listings. He's a heck of a nice guy who is just downsizing to 5 of 6 specific collections. (A problem some of the rest of us have.) He's very meticlulous about describing his reels. You won't be disappointed if you're a winning bidder. I hope to see him back on the ORCA roster soon. Jim
