I saw you guy's were talking about the Peerless 9, I remembered I had one. I checked my bag where I keep all my reels and there it was along with my Beachmaster 155 and the first reel my father ever bought me, the Squidder. All three reels are in excellent condition. My father bought me the Squidder because me and my friends would walk to Canarsie Pier and fish, the Squidder was a surfer's reel and it was a one screw take apart, easy to clean, I think I was about 9 or 10. The Peerless was given to me by my Uncle, I don't even know how old that one is and the 155 is close to the Squidder. Check out the picture. Charlie, if the 9 was in bad shape I would've sent it to you for the parts, but it's in perfect shape and I used it a couple of times Flounder fishing. Glad Phat got you squared away. That AS* kissing should be in Macy's window at lunch time!!
