Re: New Reel
#2Nice looking reel. A latch would have made is usable for simple folks like me who wind their proper (left) hand.

BTW that's a good looking reel!

#6DireWolf53,
Yes, am using blue loc-tite on several joints. Also designed the spool retention screw to use a very fine 8-36 thread and put a shoulder on it to minimize the contact surface between it and the spools bronze bushing.

#7Holireels,
Seems like you have taken everything into account.
I've had both Hardy and Kineya reels whose spools are held by screws and have never had any
problems regardless of whether they were set up as LHW or RHW. That has always seemed like
a non issue to me. Kind of like when Chrysler had lug nuts that threaded in different directions
so as to prevent wheels from coming loose/off.

Re: New Reel= Great Job !!
#8John, the reel looks great I hope the the field testing goes well. Best to you, Paul
Re: New Reel
#9Finally someone is tackling this void!! Well done. Looks great!
What is the weight please?
And if you offer it as an option with a red agate and all that very lightweight you would be in for another winner!

#12His blog says $395 but it may not matter too much longer as they look to be "sold out" shortly. I think only about seven were made but don't hold me to that. Cris can clear that up.

#13.Proper for a right handed caster, but for those like me who are left handed casters, winding with the right hand is proper.NewUtahCaneAngler wrote: ↑09/01/20 22:02Nice looking reel. A latch would have made is usable for simple folks like me who wind their proper (left) hand.

Re: New Reel
#14Definitely a nice looking reel. I wish I would have seen this post earlier. Did anyone manage to buy one? I'd like to see a picture of the check system.
