Reels Taking a Trip

Bud Kennedy · February 10, 2015, 02:19:06 PM

My Reels are Packed and Ready to Go. They are heading down to LA to have Mr. Cork do his thing. It will be nice to have them or ready for the upcoming bass battles yet to come. Good time to have it done since I won't be fishing anytime soon. Gonna drop them off at the Post office tomorrow and head them on their way.

Bud, be careful when you get them back cause he will have turned them into true hot rod reels! He does mine once a year

Great job!!

I know what you mean Lee. I had a couple done by Pro Reel a few years ago and they too were awesome. I guess it will make it easier to reach the trees.

From the pics, you better stay away from the trees, that last one almost won the battle

We'll get you fixed up. You'll have to work on your thumb and teach it about trajectory control

Actually a good clean reel can make casting much easier

They're leaving on a Jet Plane (truck)...... I'll pace until they come back again .......

Mike is the reel guy for sure.

Sometimes the trees are at water level. Those big girls like to camp out near the base. So, Tree Battles are just another way of life.

I'm still here, just not advertising. I'll answer questions when I can to help those that work on their reels. I'm actually trying to cut back on working on reels and will be going in another direction to be a supplier of parts and supplies. Working on production of a bearing cleaning tool that will be ready soon also. Send your reels to Mike, he will do a great job for you. If you need advice or supplies, check with me.

The reels are currently at Benton, LA. Good service from usps. Just sent them on the 11th. Might be delivered to Mike today but surely by tomorrow.

I would sure like to see a one stop shop for reel specific tools. That would be great.
