Guest bluecod Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've also gotta add what a top effort from Cajun too to give away a reel that holds such great memories for him. Thats really what good fishing fellas are all about eh. Good stuff Ken . 37289[/snapback] Cajun, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to a bloke who would give away such a treasure to an old fart he's never met before. Ken, much appreciated. Where my reel has faults, your's shines and vice versa. I will be able to rebuild them using the best from both and will end up with an excellent reel that I hope will last many more years to come. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajun Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 you are a sick man Iain And you are right - "The Cod" was appreciative in a very welcome red kinda way. He musta known something I reckon. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajun Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I am astounded that Shakespeare make such crap these days. Gee they let the quality slip over the years. 37289[/snapback] Pete - I missed this one. The newer shakespeares are branded under the pflueger range, and are very impressive in my book. I own small threadlines and am very happy with them. I think Shakespeare may be on the way back - they have certainly made improvements with the last lot of threadlines I got to play with.

pogo Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Memories. I had two blueys as well One lays off the wharf at bobbin head. I only put it down for a moment an then with a final whiz of that smoooooth drag a monster of the deep hauled it out to Davey Jones. I was so upset that I went back the next day with snorkel and goggles on a search mission to no avail. The other expired from over work while I lived in FNQ mainly at Weipa. They were great gear Pogo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
