Hey Phat. Received. Thanks so much! They’re perfect! Can’t wait to get down to P city and hooking up for some fishing. Maybe check out some of that mullet you pan handlers always rave about. Thanks again, bud. Merry Christmas!***127876;

Glad it got there in time for Christmas

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!!

Good looking reels ,G. I never had any saltwater stuff growing up. My dad was strictly freshwater, cane poles and Zebco 202's. I bought my first boat at 20 and took to salt water. I was working with an older guy at the time, he gave me some old Mitchell spinning reels and Penn levelwind's. he said he would rather i have them and use them than his wife or kids sell them at a garage sale for 5 bucks after he's gone.

Out of respect for him, I've tried to keep them fishing for the last 40 years.

Giorgio, looks like my collection. Other than the odd piece here and there, I only have old USA Penns. Some of these new aluminum reels are pretty and my kid says they have a sh!t ton of drag. I swear by those old Penns. I know this will make me sound old, but they sure don’t make ‘em like they used to.
NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!
