SanJuanWorm Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 It'll be polished and anodized in due time. I designed my own custom pawl type drag. We'll see how it goes. Quote
Taco Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Downhole tool design slow these days?? Looks pretty damn cool though.. keep us updated Hoss Quote
SilverDoctor Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 You need someone to properly test that puppy. I would take the task on for a few years and let you know how it goes. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 I'm starting a 6 weight and a 4 weight next week. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Some more progress. Should be ready to assemble soon. 6 Quote
tieflyer Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I have a leather reel case design for that one. Do contact me if I've tickled your fancy. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Needs a few tweaks here an there but for the most part it's a nice big two hander reel. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Woweee!! Where the 6-8w single? As soon as I have time i'll be making a 6w and a 4w. For now this is a big ass reel. More for the two handers. This things needs a few new parts as I toleranced poorly. Otherwise a polish and anodize soon. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Green handle is going away. Going to do some wood. Quote
Tungsten Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 As far as drag goes,i vote for it should sound like an Islander going out but no noise in.Freespool in so you can give it a quick spin to retrieve the extra line. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 I have a gear with 75 degrees reeling in and 45 degrees on the drag side. There's a backlash issue and too much friction. Re-doing the gearing. Quote
eotr Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Nice looking reel - let us know how the drag works out Quote
