After it is all over and done, when we examine this past year’s challenges, it is our hope that each of us can find something in our life to feel gratitude towards. I personally did not fish as much as I had planned. I missed the upland bird season. We are expecting snow this week […]
Shimano Trinidad reels have huge drag surfaces and drag washers. Once you upgrade and grease new carbon fiber drags its best to invest some time on the areas of the gear that come in contact with the new drag washers. Take a few minutes and polish the surfaces of the gear. The photo’s below show […]
Always amazes me the engineering that went into these old reels. This Penn 350 is weird by today’s standards. Then turn to a bucket of Shimano Tekota’s Last on the list this weekend is a badly corroded Shimano Torium 30. This has been a project as every step of the way corrosion has ate at […]

$229.99 spinning reel from Shimano. Used for two seasons in the saltwater and no service or maintenance. What do you end up with? All bearings toast, pinion corroded to the spool shaft. Shims destroyed. On the outside it still looks brand new. On the inside, it is a total loss. Take the $229.00 plus tax […]

This is one of two Chronarch Super Free reels I got in the other day. The gentlemen was an active bass fisherman in […]
Curado, Calcutta’s and Chronarch’s this weekend. Turning out to be a Shimano weekend. All reels are in pretty good condition considering their age and usage. The Calcutta TE 400 is a great reel. Anti reverse dog and one way bearing! Large drag surfaces. The old Curado is from 1998, and still a true joy to […]
