Here I go again. Young Guy, it's already been done for you by Bob Miller. His catalog library is extensive and he put it all down for you in the Fall 2000 issue of the Reel News. You can order one at this link:

Phil's set the ORCA website up so that about the only thing you can't find is what Julius Vom Hofe ordered for dinner while thinking up his reel inventions!

A quick search through the Reel News index is always a good place to start for questions on your favorite reel: http://orcaonline.org/reel_news_index.htm

Yes i will be coming down for that but i won't make it until saturday. If you happen to see a portage medina in great shape the 40yd model i'de really apprieciate if you put it aside i'm having a heck of a time finding one. Theres been a few on ebay but theres always some reason i haven't been able to grab one. And a couple boxes i'm looking for are in my signature at the bottom. I'm really looking forward to this one its a bit of a drive(10 hours or so) from this snowy tundra but it falls perfect on a weekend i'm coming down state already so darn the car may be a little more full on the way home, after my detour!



Looking forward to it. :D
