I couldn't help but notice the popper on the Mg combo. I have a Mg on my 1/4oz popper combo, and I couldn't be happier.dukhntr wrote:Nothing fancy at all hear. Just work horses....Chronarch D7's with a Calais 100 and Chronarch 50 MG mixed in....

Re: Where are the shimanos?
That was my point, and I'd hoped it would've been your's as well. Too bad a little class was too much to ask for ...

MiniVan I apologize for speaking out of turn.
Re: Where are the shimanos?
No biggie. I know it's rough. I didn't bother to sand it. It was just a quick fix to all the boat rash it had. I plan on breaking it down and sending it to Oscar. I want it curado green like the E series.

Re: Where are the shimanos?
I didn't mean it looked horrible, and I hope you didn't take it take it that way. I simply meant it looked unfinished. I want to paint a few reels myself, but I don't trust myself to put it back together correctly And again, thank you for the suggestions and info regarding the Kayaks. You seem to be the go to guy for yak questions.MiniVan wrote:No biggie. I know it's rough. I didn't bother to sand it. It was just a quick fix to all the boat rash it had.

Thanks, yeah, that is a 1/4 oz yellow magic with an MBR782 GLX. Extremely light. I have caught many of 7-8lbs wipers with that rig. It's a blast.

Re: Where are the shimanos?
I have to say that when I painted my reel that was the most difficult part. I had the reel prepped and apart for a month before I could get my paint and airbrush and it was tough to remember where all the parts go. I didn't loose a single part and didn't have any leftovers either. Some pieces are terrible to get back in though so caution is a must.Hogsticker2 wrote:I didn't mean it looked horrible, and I hope you didn't take it take it that way.

Re: Where are the shimanos?
yea, the first time I tear down my reel for servicing... I almost cried putting the pieces back.
I recalled thinking all the guys out here who do a thorough servicing on their reels are either damn good with their fingers or they're lunatics.
As I serviced my own reel more often, I grew more confident and now I'm of the opinion that guys who thoroughly serviced their reels or tear it apart for a paint job are both damn good and mad.
btw, I really like your orange and black color combo on your reel. great job.

Re: Where are the shimanos?
Some nice gear there fellas.
I agree, the MBR 782 IMX/GLX is truly a blast on lighter topwaters, smaller cranks and jerkbaits.
