Have been testing some of my rebuilt 30'0's.
For about 2 weeks the Channels are back in their splender and glory.
No other way to check out some of my Reels.
Vintage Tackle is getting close to becoming a reality.
I have paired up Rods with Reels and put them thru the Cat test.
Cats average around 5 to 10# and put any reel to the test.
So far all Reels have preformed like new.
I found the older ones 53 to 57 work the best.
I modified a 300A, replaced the crappy bail with the old style and it is super.May these Reels last. (Whch Garcia said would not work).
these feels will be around for another 70 plus years).
