yea scott it was a winter project that was my first surf reel when i was a kid its about 46 +/- years old so i desided to put her back into shape plus the place where i got it powdered coated did a lot of bike work and old cars like bumper springs bike wheels custom pipe work it was just nice looking at all the things in this dudes shop.....i figured you like this place........$75.00 to do the reel and in the reel cup they must have used some fine sandblasting material cause every thing inside the reel is like new metal............penn discontuined some parts like the bail arm/wire so i got them tuned up .....now she's gonna be put on my shelf
